If you do stuff like brakes and suchlike, then it probably wont cost you that, as you would have done all that before it goes in. It will only probably cost £280, if they ahve to replace all bits n bobs likes brakes, and ADJUST the valve clearences, not just checking them. Id get it serviced at 16k, then every 4k there after.

Designed as a trickle charger and more than safe for bikes. Whacking a bloody great car charger is what they are on about.
