Spannering Costs

[DJFridge]

Bearing in mind YC won't come to West Sussex to sort my bike, how much should I allow for a full service?

Which one?

Do it yourself & save.

Carb balancing
Oil
Plugs
Filters

Are pretty straight forward + Save you a good 100+ on labour.

Just assume, for the sake of argument, that letting me loose with a spanner is not necessarily good for the the health of the mechanical item in question or, indeed, me.

Main dealer around £350 before shims was the last quote I got
Independent, depends I got quoted between £200 and £350 for the major

That's at Cheap northern Monkey rates

Have you asked him? He is mobile after all ;) And paying for fuel on top would probs still work out cheaper than paying a dealer or similar....would depend on how much is involved in the service for it to be worth both your whiles :)

It's even further than going to AR12 is going to be! And imagine the faff if I forgot something!!

I'm in Surrey and could show you how to do all the above for free.
Would have to be on one of my days off shift mind. I don't have carb tune or the like but oil, oil filter, air filter no problem and plugs are easy just annoying to get at.
