Re: 1st Proper Service
Now I really dont know what to do. £100 sounds like a lot of cash for a basic service. Changing the oil and filter is simple enough (if I can work out how to remove the lower fairing) and how hard can it be to get to the air filter?
I really want to get more hands on with the bike but I lack the experience. One of the tasks that I really need to be shown (Ape - your advice at the next meet would be welcome) is how to work out if the chain is too loose. I do check my chain regularly, but am not quite sure what I am looking for...what is too much play? I cant believe that you guys get your rulars out each time you look at the chain so there must be a knack to this.
Oh well, I think that I may just send it to the dealer this time as I am about to sell it and then work on the new bike as I am planning on keeping it for a good long time.
