Now that sounds like a plan, I would be very keen to come and lend a hand here guys if that was ok as my thingymydoofer knoledge is zero and mines coming up for a service.

Someone has to make tea after all, lol

All of which you've got to look forward to.

Communal day at KG's sounds good, the tea is excellent.

If we are blessed by a stork visitation, I'll be asking some big questions, either of Matlida or the Urology Surgeon

Jeezzzz! Bit of activity on this one!

Anyway, the full 15k involves valve clearance, timing and all that stuff.

As per service book.

Cost £240. Not really bothered if that seems expensive, happy with the service and know it's done properly.

As always bike felt nice after servicing. All I know is, I hate bikes with no screen or fairing..... Anything above legal mph starts to get uncomfortable unless you want to express your love for the fuel tank. Gave me a bandit 650 for the day, man it was quiet with the stock silencer.

Oh, worth mentioning that valve clearances need a totally cold engine, so if you're thinking of a communal thing with other people working on their bikes, it doesn't really work for that part.

how long does it take an sv to totally cool? turn up at mine, do other servicy things, do my valve thingymbobs, do others properlly after stuffing up mine

by the time we have lorne rolls, coffee and biccies, sure the engines will be cold

Traditionally you leave it overnight... Though to be honest this is one of those things where I don't really have an informed opinion, just repeating what I've heard from other folks It may or may not make a difference with these engines, I dunno.
