Air filter change - how many miles has your bike done? Check the service schedule
ACF50 The whole bike - yes. except the brakes, keep it well away from the discs
Clean brake calippers ( ACF50 the calllipers ??? ) - yes, but don't ACF50 them, unless you're going to brush it on just the outside VERY carefully
Clean and grease the caliper pistons with red rubber grease.
Change the Engine Oil Coolant/radiator coolant ? - engine oil yes, coolant, when was it last changed, longtime ago then yes
Check the anti freeze - yes
anything else, could say its a full service really.

Check your clutch cable adjustment
Check chain
Lube throttle cable
Lube all moving points around levers and pegs
Slap some Vaseline around the front plug lead

Check tyres and pressures
adjust chain & de-grease and re-grease
check sprockets
tighten all nuts and bolts
change brake fluids and bleed system
check all cable adjustments
check all bulbs
check for leaky suspension i.e all seals
check spark plugs
check headrace bearings for movement.

change brake fluids

For a winter service? Are you stark raving? If it was a 2 year service maybe, but even then!!

I forgot, check the tick over too!

well its technically due a proper full service, and well i also need it in top shape for riding to work during winter. well im gonna chicken out of doing any of it myself, as i dont have a ****king clue in what to do. just to find someone to do it all now.
can people recommend sites and products i should use for all the replacements eg spark plugs filters, oil ect ect ..
