Guys, i have no service history with my bike, and have owned it for three or four years, in that time its had a minor service, but had no reciept.
What needs doing in terms of service now? Its a 53 plate and has done 12k miles. Second question, is there a kit you can buy with service parts cheap? and is it easy enough to do yourself? cheers andy |

Hi Andy, if it were me I would give the bike a good going over.
i.e. oil & filter change, air filter change, coolant change, brake fluid change, spark plug change, chain clean & grease + adjust as necessary. Oil all linkages etc All of these items are fairly easy to do and could save you a tidy sum. When the air filter is out check throttle plates free of muck Remove brake pads front & back & inspect for wear, check pistons moving ok. Check all nuts & bolts for tightness. Last but not least check tyres for condition & pressure There are service kits on the bay but check for quality, get a genuine oil filter if poss. Should you need brake pads get a reputable make. regards Keith h |

Hi Andy, thanks for reply. No doubt thse HI- FLO kits are ok so no harm in giving them a go, most members on here would go for NGK plugs. cheers Keith h
