Had the 18k service done today , although the bike has done 20,300km
the workshop re opened this week after x mas.
All good, had the rear brakes adjusted to give more feel, apparently they needed bleeding and the pads were glazed.
The tyres are worn out again , so i need new tyres asap both front and rear. I will try different brand tryes and see how it goes. Brake pads both front and rear will need changing within the next few thousand k's as well.

Well done and sounds like your shop charges reasonable fees. I think few else of us are at that distance on the bike yet. At 2500mi (4000km) myself, I know I'm certanly not.

Hey Torque,
I thought you would have more miles of that thing by now. You need to stop modifying and start riding the bike. I'm at 6000+ miles and climbing.

Jeez 99sydrd, you are one hard core biker. Is 18,000km a major service? I am coming up to my 12 month service (haven't done the mileage yet) and I wondered how much major services cost in Australia on average?

HP - 18K is a minor , my last major was done at 12k (oct 2008) and the next major is 24k coming up soon, the cost for the major is $450 - $750 depending where you go. I pay a mechanic $450 cash which works out much cheaper than a dealer service.
