Andywills77 433 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Coming upto a year since I brought the bike (64 plate) Due to horrible work commitments and the adventures of chain replacement, I've managed a staggering 1k. What should I expect as a service? Have one place quoting £160 (oil, filter, etc) and another wanting to discuss at MOT as it's not done much in a year and wants to look at the bike to assess Edited May 20, 2019 by Andywills77 Link to post
alhendo1 3,046 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 It all depends on what service it is, what they are doing and whereabouts in the uk you are....labour costs vary depending on area/main dealer/independent. Link to post
stephenmcg 869 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Andy if it was me, I would change oil but if filter new last service, I would leave it till next time. check tyre pressures, chain tension. visual inspect tyres, brake pads. grease side stand and main stand if it has one. check lights, indicators give bike a clean and mark up book saying you did not change filter. cost about £40 for oil, big bottle with some to spare for next year. stephen in glasgow Link to post

XXX 2,697 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Did you get the 600 mile first service done (probably not much more than an oil change), or will this be the bike’s very first service? If you got it done as recommended under the warranty then the next service is only due at 8,000 miles (12,000 km). Link to post
Andywills77 433 Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) It was done every year by previous owner with stamps in the book (warranty long gone) Edited May 21, 2019 by Andywills77 Link to post

I hadn’t realised you hadn’t bought new (64 plate is Greek to me). So what you’re saying is “2 Careful owners, still running in”. 😂 Link to post
