Brake fluid

Brake pads

Spark plugs

Chain/Sprocket check (Front sprocket cover cleaning out)

Battery check, deionised water if needed

Radiator fluid

getting a tad more involved from then on

Thats all I can think of for the moment... thought theres allot more, just depends on how much of a service you are prepared/dare to do

You don't need to change brake fluid on a service, or clean the front sprocket housing out. Depending on the mileage of the bike depends what needs checking, but the basics are:

Oil, Oil Filter, Plugs, Air Filter, Chain and Sprockets, Coolant, Tyres (condition and pressures), Steering head bearings, Front and Rear wheel bearings, Swingarm bushes, Front forks operation and seals, Rear shock damping and rebound, all electrics (head/tail lights, indicators, horn, etc), Charging System, Brake fluid levels, Brake line condition.

Not all of the above need to be replaced. Things like oil and the oil filter do, but like I say depending on the bike and the mileage of the service determines what gets changed. Plugs are not always changed at every service, neither is the air filter. Things like brake fluid you check, if it's okay you don't have to change it at every service.

After this you get a bit more in depth what with tappets, cam chains and such likes, obviously dependant on mileage of the bike.

Ok cheers, i'll do those checks as i've got it in bits anyway.

oh out of interest do you know what bulbs go in the instrument panel. Some of them are like 1.2 watt and some are 3watt, the are like capless bulbs and i can only find the bigger and smaller ones....
