yeah, only thing is that i dont have any history apart from the parts i brought.

i have to do the 14500mile in a couple of weeks and thats a biggy

ive just done the 8000 mile service and all it cost me was an oil filter (£10) spark plugs (£10) Oil (i already had a full tub of oil). I had a look at the K&N air filter and it was clean. Just gave it a shake to remove the one fly that was in there.
Cleaned and regreased everything however i didnt get to do the brake fluid change or the anti-freeze change. I might do these in the next few weeks

I got quoted £120 from the local dealer for the service.

Was quoted £200 at West London Suzuki yesterday. Will do it myself though.

TBH, I'd DIY it, especially if its out of its warranty period (I serviced my SV myself without any problems :!:)

[lodman27]

Paid £250 inc rear pads and a remap at steve jordan's and a hire bike thrown in too!!! John don't go to george whites, my bike feels better than new now!!!!

So long as you are not worried about the warranty on your bike, do the servicing yourself. Those stamps in the book may mean a guaranteed service history. But a self made one including receipts is as good as.

I change the oil in my bike every 3000 miles and change the filter every other oil change. Every single time the wheels come off, which is a lot more than every normal service, the bearings get checked, the axle spindle gets a new coat of grease. The brakes get bled more often. etc etc.

All that information, logged in your own service book (with receipts to back up the dates you did these things) would impress me more than a standard fully stamped up service book would.

Log down when you changed the fork oil, changed the sprockets and chain, checked the head bearings etc etc...

I pay about £75 at each interval for a 4000 service, and do all the extra stuff myself. I still get the stamp, and anything I might miss doing it myself (the little things, usually) should hopefully be checked.

How much? The service schedule is for Oil, and Plugs. It's not even filters!

How much :lol: Mine was a little less than £150 and even my 11000 mile service was £175 and they even threw in coolant and brake fluid change :lol: which was nice
