I always tend to give any bike a buy a good service. Just so you know that its all OK.

Certainly change plugs and oil. Air filter have a good look at, same with brakes and the rest.

Probably around £100-£150, depends on the garage really.

Usually its chain adjusted, lubed, tyre pressures corrected, oil and filter change, then any other consumables, at a set mileage.
Normally things are replaced when they have been inspected and are no longer any use. Theres no set in stone as it were things.

Well if you ask them they will tell you Rolling Eyes

Crystal ball ain't working too well at the moment.

Ask them what they will do, for the price they say. Or tell them what you want doing and ask how much.

Oil, filter and brake pads are easy.

To be honest start to learn how to maintain the bike by doing the oil, filter, air filter and new plugs yourself. All are very easy jobs to do.

Brake fluid should be fine. Unless you feel the brakes are really spongy and then it might be better to get the std lines replaced with something like these Its usually the rubber lines that are the problem.
A carb balance well unless you have the kit a shop is the best place.
