Guest Scooby_NOOB Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Due my 16000 mile service, any advice on where in Oxfordshire and best place to get it done? This is first service I have had to do on my bike and any advice is gratefully received? How much would it be responsible to expect to pay for this service? Link to post
Guest ChrisS Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Sorry Mate As I no longer live in Oxfordshire, I don’t have a scooby as to where or how much your 16k service is going to cost you! Hope you get it sorted👍 Link to post
trisaki 2,029 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If you could get to west Sussex I would do the service for you- properly and cheaper then the dealer at my work shop the only hassle is the valve clearance check must be done with a cold engine Link to post

David Yes it's the big one with valve clearance check / adjustment. Paid about £130 for 8k, about £500 for 16k incl adjusting all valves. Link to post

MikeBike 5,005 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes Coolant was also changed on mine in the 16k service.

Iron horse 121 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Takes me about an hour to do the valves on mine, including removal and refitting of the rad. What's the average hourly rate at garages these days? 2 Link to post
embee 7,288 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Takes a bit longer on an Integra with the Tupperware, and I tend to let a job fill the time available, but still easily done in a couple of hours if I set my mind to it (which I usually don't ……….. ). Link to post
Iron horse 121 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I looked at buying a BMW F800 prior to getting the NC. The valve adjustment video on YouTube put me off. Looked like heart surgery. Seems crazy when some of the services can amount to 20% of the value of the bike Link to post
Derm 380 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 And they do heart surgery on the NHS, I can vouch for that. Link to post

roddy 845 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If it brings you joy and you can afford it, biking is just brilliant. Best not to be ripped off though if you can help it. Link to post
Ignatius 98 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Out of £317 , £83 is for parts and rest is all for labour , i feel biking is cheaper if you do your own maintenance and small repairs. My CAT N resurrection would have ended under 100 if i haven't done that small mistake. 1 Link to post
