Good deal that Stuart for the convenience.
Plus you don't have the Dundee language barrier to contend with, lol.

Sometimes it pays to be a charmer/chancer, lol.

At that price even I?d consider taking it to the dealers! I hate doing the fork oil change!
Doubt I?ll ever get 18k on mine anyway

I messaged Bahnstormer about the Forks and they said "We take off the forks and remove the tops and innards. The fork isn't split."
Fork/shock oil should be change bi-annually.
Track bikes much more frequently.

Must admit that I've never paid much attention to what gets done in regular dealer services, do they change the fork oil before the 18k service? Does the rear shock ever get attention?

If you follow the bmw schedule the only thing that is done annually is the engine oil 6k or annually.
The brake fluid is every other year.
Fork oil is at 30km
The rear shock is a sealed unit so no? Unless it fails I guess.
Brakes are just inspected for pad and disk wear, I don?t believe the calipers are ever serviced? Maybe with a pad change.

That?s exactly how it?s described in the manual, the spring/cartridge is removed and the fork drained. The stanchion isn?t removed from the fork leg, no need unless the seal has failed
Seems a bit lazy, they should rebuild with new seals IMO.

I know what you mean but you could argue either way really, if it?s not broke don?t fix it? It?s not a service item
I?ve had new seals fail almost instantly in the past which is a pain in the ***.

Which Bahnstormers you at? I'd be interested to know the final number and what was done. H

Ended up in Vines in Guildford in the end, they could fit me in... the rise in temperature saw an influx of bikers wanting services done and Bahnstormer did not have space for a full day until later on next month :-(

FYI just had 57k service at Chandlers Brighton.
good lads
engine oil / filter / spark plugs / valve clearance check & cam chain check etc.+ small electrical gremlin fix.= ?500
still haven't bothered with a fork oil change... seem fine to me and doesn't effect my ride..would do it if i noticed any sloppiness, which i dont. i'd rather spend the cash on tyres ! which i seem to eat
should see 60k by end of May, Off to Le Mans GP on the old dog.
safe riding all!

Very encouraging Steady. OOI, did you negotiate with them? I've found it rather hard going to knock their price down, maybe I'm not trying hard enough...

I called them when doing the rounds - they would not budge... However Steady did not do the fork oil change, hence price difference...?
