What's included in it? Is it worth paying £130 in London or changing the oil and oil filter yourself?
Thanks Pav |

Hein Gerike - buy the oil get the filter free... + about an hour of your time if you're confident enough to do it.
HTH Apart from a general look over I can't remember if anything else is included in the 4k service. |

If you can change the oil and oil filter yourself, do it and save some money. Infact, with the money saved, you can invest in some good castrol oil
![]() You may want to inspect the brakes - if they havn't been done for a while, and you've ridden the bike through winter, a good strip, clean, regrease and reassemble will be a good idea. Clean and lubricate the chain if you havn't done that for a while, and clean around the clutch work-drive area. Give spannerman a ring for 4000 mile service advice (he's based in sunbury, near hampton court); the oil and the oil filter are the important bits, but you might like to do other work while you have tools out and are covered in bike-related oily muck! |

Depends on how old your bike is. If its over 2 years old then inspect/change of brake fluid and coolant is required.
Also on 4k: Inspect and or replace air filter Inspect plugs Inspect adjust throttle freeplay Clutch cable ^ as above Chassis bolt check, lube pivot points etc Chain lube/clean adjust Etc |
