He inspected my tyres and we decided they needed replacing (once he explained what wear bars were) so I opted for 021's.

The bike has had a full service calipers off and cleaned, oil filter, oil, chain cleaned and tensioned and he also balanced the injection.

I paid £315 all told and the bike feels better than new to ride! The fuelling used to be very clunky and now it's just super smooth. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this done? and whether they found the bike nicer to ride after.
So, on the SV I should do a 4000 mile service? Not a 3000 mile service? Btw, I have a 2001 SV and it has 22,000 miles on it.
