Default Service essentials? Curvy.

Looking to give my naked 2001 SV650 (46k) its first service under my ownership. Cant
seem to find the info I want but am sure there must be threds out there somewhere.

Can kind individual please link me or tell me which brands are prefered for the following (and the average costs if possible).

Sparks
Oil
Air Filter
Radiator Fluid
Brake Pads and Disks Pads (need better stopping power as riding 2 up quite a bit)
Chain and sprockets

does anyone know of a reasonable service kit on the interweb?

I dont want to spend the earth..but am happy to pay a few quid more for better efficiency / reliability (if that makes sense)

Ta!

Hi Naked.

You'll get most of the stuff you want here.

Maybe get an OEM oil filter, they're not expensive

Oil and Radiator fluid I use Halfords. For brake pads EBC HH, but do they need changing? Chain and sprockets JT and DID, I haven't seen much listed in way of differences.

But what about fork oil? Chances are its been a while since it was changed and will make a world of difference. Halfords again do some bottles of the stuff that I've used more than once.
