Bike got serviced for £63
Took my bitchin' pride & joy for it's 8000 mile service.
The shop just rang up saying that there was v.little work to do on it as it had barely been used since th last service. The plugs were still in as new condition so they didn't replace (v.honest of them), ditto the air filter. They balanced the carbs and that was about it, oh & they topped up the oil - didn't replace as the oil was in good nick, apparently. £63 all told. Top banana.  )

Nice!
A while ago I got my SV unofficially serviced (just tightened/adjusted/greased) and remapped for £40. Was pretty happy with that. |

FYI:
The garage I use is Clerkenwell Motorcycles @ 73 Clerkenwell Road. The main bloke is Olly & seems like a good chap. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.sr...=newsearch.srf http://www.clerkenwellmotorcycles.co.uk/ |

Still though, £63 to top up the oil and balance two carbs
 Though compared to a big garage it is a good amount of money to pay for a service. |

So the oil and filter were not changed - despite having reached the reccomended mileage, because it looked clean??
