600 Mile service

Whats involved in the first service? Worth getting it done or do it myself?

I've gone over time so it won't be free and I have no intention of paying for dealer servicing in future LOL

Do it yourself if you ain't getting dealers to do any servicing... Its only an oil & filter, plus a good look around the bike & tighten any nuts & bolts etc - Thant being said, its is a very important service after running it, to remove any debris that may be floating around in the oil

Thought they checked valve clearances etc but if they don't will just do it myself

What oil do you guys recommend?

Hein Gericke 'Motul' Semi-Synthetic 10W 40 (oil & filter deal) for £24.50 - 5 litres of Oil, oil filter & Air filter (although they don't stock the filter for the pointies (K3, K4 or K5's etc )) I pushed the boat out & bought a K&N oil filter (£10) & a K&N Air Filter (£35 - This is cheap because the K&N filter is re-usable - Buy it once & use it forever ) Still cheaper than a dealer service
