Hello, this thread is to let you all know I'm an idiot and will be doing my own servicing from now on.

Thanks.

Bit harsh on yourself perhaps?

You live and you learn.

�168 ??? how can they justify it, dayum stealerships !!!!!

The amount of oil they buy I'd be surprised if they spent �10.00 on that and maybe 1.00p for the filter ?

So that's �157.00 left?

What else did they do ?

I service everything myself and always have...

Keep the receipts for oil and filter etc and staple them in your book and log the mileage also. I'd rather see that than a dealer stamp any day. Well as long as the bike wasn't held together with Gaffa tape obviously.

Valve clearances?

2 hours to change oil, filter and spark plug!

Er, yes. Try these for starters...

Valve adjustment
Replace air filter
Lube steering head bearings
Lube suspension linkage
Plus a whole host of other minor checks, adjustments and items to lubricate.

I've just paid ~�150 to have the warranty booklet stamped even trough it has done less than 3500km since last check and oil change.

The pony is two years old and had done 1682km when i bought it two month ago. Now is up to ~5000km but i'll but it away for the winter.

It was last serviced in the summer of 2012 so needed a authorized yearly check and oil change to keep the 5year warranty...

My last rides has been old and I've done all the service myself. But in 5000km time i'll have to decide whether I'll continue to pay for the 10000km service or loose the warranty.

• Kev's O2 Controller, Mccoi stepless controller with Hein Gericke heated grips
• TT +4cm seat, Pivot Pegs, Altech stainless sprocket cover

At least you lot in the Scandinavian countries get a 5 year warranty - we only get 2 years! Makes it marginally more worthwhile keeping the service book up to date.
