anyone has done this

The basic service – we train and help you

1. Oil – drain and replace

2. Oil filter - replace

3. Plugs check, clean, regap or replace

4. Chain – clean, degrease and regrease, tension

5. Electrics – check, improve or repair as necessary

6. Fault diagnosis – we won’t promise a fix, but you’ll know what to ask your garage to do

7. MOT pretest – before you leave we show you what the tester looks for

8. Gearbox/driveshaft - oil change

9. Air filter - clean or change

10. Fastenings checked, replaced, greased or locked, tensioned

11. Brakes - dismantled, bled if required, checked, cleaned, refitted

12. Cables - checked, oiled, retensioned

I would be most suprised if you completed a 12 week bike maintenance course at nightclass and weren't comfortable doing those things (and a lot more). I can see how if no other options were available this would be tempting. For £250 though, I'd want someone to show you how to get the forks out, take off the swing arm, wheels off, clutch change etc. perhaps even a valve clearence check/adjustments and switching out engines.

I got that (plus all the things they're offering at £250, which isn't an awful lot) and a little more, for £175, including all parts.
