4000 mile service - what's included?
What's included in it? Is it worth paying £130 in London or changing the oil and oil filter yourself?
Thanks Pav |

Hein Gerike - buy the oil get the filter free... + about an hour of your time if you're confident enough to do it.
HTH Apart from a general look over I can't remember if anything else is included in the 4k service. |

Re: 4000 mile service - what's included?
If you can change the oil and oil filter yourself, do it and save some money. Infact, with the money saved, you can invest in some good castrol oil
You may want to inspect the brakes - if they havn't been done for a while, and you've ridden the bike through winter, a good strip, clean, regrease and reassemble will be a good idea. Clean and lubricate the chain if you havn't done that for a while, and clean around the clutch work-drive area. Give spannerman a ring for 4000 mile service advice (he's based in sunbury, near hampton court); the oil and the oil filter are the important bits, but you might like to do other work while you have tools out and are covered in bike-related oily muck! |

Re: 4000 mile service - what's included?
Depends on how old your bike is. If its over 2 years old then inspect/change of brake fluid and coolant is required.
Also on 4k: Inspect and or replace air filter Inspect plugs Inspect adjust throttle freeplay Clutch cable ^ as above Chassis bolt check, lube pivot points etc Chain lube/clean adjust Etc |
