...so you'ld prefer that we do? It wont take you 10 mins to read the short section on regular maintenance.

Happy to help if you have any queries though.

ok, oil filter, air filter, oil and plugs. Without knowing the state/age of the bike and what kind of service history its a little tricky to just guess.

Are teh brake pads worn to excess......new pads. Are the valve clearances out......new shims etc etc

You really need to work through the maintenance section and decide what jobs are appropriate.
