Ooh AMS motorcyles.....so nearly ASM motorcycles then i would have to sue.

Having just looked at the site, they look very Harley Davidson. Are you sure it won't come back covered in chrome and leather?

Didn't say how long it would take, for the service I would say one day but depends if it needs other work.. Full service ?190 inc valve clearance check. Seems reasonable..

+parts?

Not a bad price, especially as they collect/return.

Yep, all in! Email copied here -

Nick,

Thanks for your enquiry, the cost for 24k service would be ?190.00. This
includes brakes, brake fluid, oil, coolent, oil/air filter, plugs, valve
clearence, clutch adjustment. It covers valve clearence but excludes any
shims. If you require fork oil replacement that is a further ?45.00.

We can check the chain and sprockets and the jumping out of gear when in for
service and quote accordingly.

Cheers

Hopefully its nothing major, as it could be a money pit.

When were the C+S last changed?

C & S were changed 10k ago. I hope it's nothing major too!

I assume it includes VAT, but will check..

Includes VAT...

45 smackers for a fork oil change.. Is this worth doing? Will I feel the benefit?

Depends what you change it to and if you think the forks are under-damped as they are.

If i was changing the fork oil, i would be inclined to stick some uprated springs(Ohlins or more likely Racetech) in there as well. If you were feeling flash you could go for cartridges/emulators.

The bike has a reasonable mileage(mid twenties?) so might benefit from a spruce up.

Ogden is right though...depends how you currently find the front end. I do seem to remember you saying it wasn't as nice as the CBR.
