Re: When do you service your bike?
oil and filters every 4k on all of them, plugs when it needs them

Re: When do you service your bike?
Mileage based, gets used so seasonally doesn't make much odds.
I'd say before winter is "better" so it has clean oil if you're the sort to leave it stood over winter. Chances of it making any odds... meh...

Re: When do you service your bike?
Probably should had mentioned that I'll be storing it over winter - so this is a "should I leave it, or do it before winter".
If it doesn't make any odds, will do it at the start of summer... |

Re: When do you service your bike?
if you are storing it then i would brim the tank or empty it, do an oil and filter change, take the plug leads off and every week turn the bike over to lube the top end and bores.
