Spannering Costs
Bearing in mind YC won't come to West Sussex to sort my bike, how much should I allow for a full service?

Do it yourself & save.
Carb balancing Oil Plugs Filters Are pretty straight forward + Save you a good 100+ on labour. |

 And paying for fuel on top would probs still work out cheaper than paying a dealer or similar....would depend on how much is involved in the service for it to be worth both your whiles

Re: Spannering Costs
I'm in Surrey and could show you how to do all the above for free.
Would have to be on one of my days off shift mind. I don't have carb tune or the like but oil, oil filter, air filter no problem and plugs are easy just annoying to get at.
