Had my SV 3 months now and a little bit surprised at quite how quickly im piling the miles on. Started on 2k - now done 6k

Been phoning round for prices and im looking at £200 to £250 which is more than i was hoping. Im piling the miles on and will use all year round - i dont want a £200 bill every 3 months.

Question is - if i do the service myself, with OEM parts - will i still retain the warranty? Bike is 12 months old. If i do invalidate the warranty - does it really matter - the bike will have done at least 20k when i come to sell anyway which may override any depreciation due to non dealer servicing surely?

Also - anyone have a schedule? Think its Oil, oil filter, plugs, check air filter - rest is just inspection. I look after chain alignment / tension etc all myself anyway.
