What your saying is sad but true, and I guess has happened to all of us. and I agree, if I have to go over everything the service department did then I mite as well do it my self.:?
By the way, I had my hearing aid fixed, you don't have to shout anymore.

Just did my own service at 600 mi, not hard to do, few places I could not get torque wrench in to check , but did it by feel, if you have an idea how much bolt will stand. Any one know what size the allen wrench is for front axel. 5/16 will take out drain plug for trans and final gear , just dont over tighten and strip the thread

12mm allen key for front wheel axle and 17 mm in case you want to tackle fork oil.

I agree with you.

But tyre pressures should be checked before every trip - I know I do - my life depends upon them.

Having these makes it a darn sight easier though;-)

Norman, those pressure monitors are THE **** (that's a good thing per my teenagers). Never heard of them before, think I'll try them out.





Peace.

Mechanics

I've found that each town usually has one trusted mechanic. You
have to talk to the local riders as to who they like. Our local guy
runs his own shop in an out of the way place. He usually sells
parts cheap and makes his money installing stuff. I like a mechanic
that you can talk to and will take the time to talk to you about the
bike.
