Hi all,
service bike every 4k miles a quick question re 24k service

service at 4k oil / filter
service at 8k oil/filter + plugs
service at 12k oil/filter + air filter
service at 16k oil/filter + plugs + valve clearance
service at 20k oil/filter
service at 24k should be oil/filter + plugs ?
Should I change air filter at 24k ? Do you need to change it every 12k ?
Do the plugs really need changing every 8k ?

Cheers Steve

We used to change ours every third service. No need now with the BMC filter

Can't really see massive benefits from changing plugs, unless your old ones are so bad they're making it miss/pink, however, I changed mine, just for the sake of it really as the bike was in bits.
