4k Service - SV650.org

Gazza77 · 27-03-06, 04:39 PM

Rang round three local dealers from work this afternoon to get an idea of price. Prices ranged from £150-180.

Given that according to the manual only the oil should be changed (as the filters only require inspection) I wouldn't have expected it to cost anywhere near this much or take two hours as quoted by all three. Before I wonder down to the nearest HG for their oil & filter offer, is there something obvious that I'm missing here?

In fairness, I'm quite happy to service it myself if that's all the needs doing.... time is the only issue as the car needs doing as well! The only thing that would concern me is if something like valve clearances needed doing. According to the handbook they don't, but it was mentioned by one of the dealers I called.

I believe that is something that needs to be done during the 7.5k service.

They have to be cheeked at 7.5 as well as 14.5k.

Looking at the handbook, it is 14.5k for valve clearance and 7.5k for Throttle Valve Syncronization. What's the difference?

I said 15,000 and I meant it.
