Default Re: Servicing your bike yourself

Hi guys and girls,

Reading this thread has made me want to do my 4000 mile service myself (odometer reading 4011 at the mo!) I was thinking of taking it to a garage but it's not in warranty anymore anyway (bought my Y reg SV at the back end of last year with only 3300 on the clock!)

So, bearing in mind I have never serviced anything (mechanical !) in my life before, what equipment and parts will I need for a 4000 mile service? Off the top of my head I'm thinking;

Paddock stand- just the rear needed?
Oil - any specific brand or anything of the correct 'weight'?
Filter - suzuki original filter?
Tools - most of which I have (allen keys/socket set, etc)
Grease

Anything glaringly obvious I'm missing for 4000 mile service? Any tips over and above what has been mentioned already? Any help on this is much appreciated,

Thanks!
Matt
