Air filter change - how many miles has your bike done? Check the service schedule
ACF50 The whole bike - yes. except the brakes, keep it well away from the discs
Clean brake calippers ( ACF50 the calllipers ??? ) - yes, but don't ACF50 them, unless you're going to brush it on just the outside VERY carefully
Clean and grease the caliper pistons with red rubber grease.
Change the Engine Oil Coolant/radiator coolant ? - engine oil yes, coolant, when was it last changed, longtime ago then yes
Check the anti freeze - yes
anything else, could say its a full service really.

cheers Josh

Re: winter service help

change brake fluids

For a winter service? Are you stark raving? If it was a 2 year service maybe, but even then!!

I forgot, check the tick over too!

Re: winter service help

well its technically due a proper full service, and well i also need it in top shape for riding to work during winter. well im gonna chicken out of doing any of it myself, as i dont have a ****king clue in what to do. just to find someone to do it all now.
