South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

I looked in my service book yesterday and realized that my bike should have a full service. However, I am not that mechanically competent so i took one step at a time. I changed, the plugs, oil, air filter and oil filter. Still have the valves, carbs, braided hoses, brake fluid, and coolant change to do but i will get Bridge to do that as I don't want to work on the brakes and the carbs i cannot do by myself.

However, since my passenger seat cover was still not on correctly it blew off as i went for a ride round my block. I went inside to get the toolkit but forgot the lid wasn't on!

So anyone recommend a Paintshop in South Devon that is bike friendly and quite cheap!

I am still quite chuffed that i managed to do the service myself, I know it is not difficult for all you experienced motorcyclists.

Well done on your first service, now your a real boy! Not sure what you mean by servicing the braided hoses, I would just leave them and change the brake fluid.

Major services can be quite pricey so shop around. There are a couple spray shops in magdalene road you could try. But for a hump I'd do it myself.

I think he means replace the original hoses for braided ones...
