16000 miles service

Recommended Posts

I have recently just had my 16000 mile service done. I cannot believe the difference in performance and the quality of the ride has improved its like riding a new bike.Everything feels tighter, more responsive and I have just calculated my latest MPG and it has hit 90mpg for the first time and that was with spirited riding.

 

The cost was £490 but to be fair I have had some Honda handguards added, new MRA screen with spoiler on top which for my height is amazing,New bar ends,New oil and air filter, complete change of coolant and oil, valves checked,tyres and chain all correct pressure and lubed. I was contemplating changing the S for a 390 KTM but have decided on my original plan and try to get a 100,000 miles out of the engine.

We'll if it makes your bike feel that good again it's got to be worth it.

I doubt very much if you'd get anywhere near 100,000 on the KTM 390...

Your right wozza but I did take it out for a test ride and its brilliant fun  the power to weight ratio is unbelievable it feels so quick my S feels like a goldwing compared to the little KTM.
