Cleaning up a recently brought 2nd hand bike

[BenBray]

I'm trying to sort everything out and learn stuff myself, but I just thought I'd run things by you guys just for peace of mind:

The bike is at about 6300 miles and I'm thinking it should go in for a service. I'm not willing to spend a daft amount of money to get everything done if I might be able to have a stab at it, so I have it to this:

================

Clean out and lube:

Clutch lever holder
Side stand pivot and spring hook
Drive chain
Brake level holder
Throttle cable
Brake pedal pivot

Check the following:

Spark Plug
Chain and Sprockets [will probably clean them all up]
Engine Oil [Will replace anyway]
Oil Filter [Again, might as well replace]
Air filter [Will clean it out or change it depending on condition]
Drive Chain

===============

The only thing I think I'm missing [beyond tire pressures etc which are fine anyway] is a good old valve clearance. The only real question I have is how much is all this likely to cost me, as I have no oil of any sort whatsoever? and how much for the service? I'm only looking for rough estimates, natch

Cheers for any relpies, guys

Ben

Oil even cheaper then. I'd just get normal engine oil from the garage. I'm fairly sure the oil filter will be a metal gauze too which will just need cleaning in a solvent (eg petrol).

Pretty sure they run a normal, albeit small, disposable paper oil filter.
Sump capacity is under a litre.
Only one spark plug.

Quite a nice ride for what it is, a friend of mine used to have one. Quicker than a restricted 2 stroke 125.
