Hi Folks
Im wanting to give Elvis a once over and have just been told that apparently at 24,000kms the bike is up for a major service.. Cost $1,035+ depending on things like gaskets and shims.. (quote from bikebiz parra)
Can someone confirm if this is true? i had the expectation the bike would need an oil change and thats about it.. lol this is completely the opposite and not something i can forkout right now
Anyhows - right now im googling around for a service manual to see what i do myself..i asked whats included in a major service and he blurted out a few things including:
-valves (nfi whats required here)
- gasket/shims? (nfi whats required here)
- sparks
- coolant
- brake fluid & pads
- oil
- air filter
I've got experience servicing a 250rr when on my L's and P's and think i could probably get away with doing the oil, coolant, sparkies, and maybe brake fluid... ill know better once i get my hands on the service manual...
Does anyone know what else is required for a major service? fork seals / oils ? etc..
Cheers
