I have a 1990 CBR 400 NC29 its going in tomorrow to have 2 new tyres fitting BT090 at the front and a 92 at the rear, also new renthal sprockets and a Tsubaki gold x ring chain plus new rear pads. I use the bike daily and was wondering what I should cover as a yearly service ?

heres what I was thinking of replacing

Air filter
Oil filter
Oil
spark plugs
front pads
strip front brakes clean and replace fluid

what else should I get done thats an essential yearly change ?

Carb clean & balance
valve clearances
fork oil & seals

How often is the bike serviced? As most should be done at the regular service intervals.

Air filter/oil filter and oil are changed on a normal mileage service. Front pads if needed but no point throwing money away if there is plenty of miles left on them.

Time means nothing realy, it's how many miles it has done. How old is the bike?
