only the fact the fuelling had been adjusted so it was running rich
tank range down by about 10 miles and strong smell of fuel as i come past

will get sorted over winter with a pc3

My 749s has now had the small service and the belt service.

£210 for the small service and £330 for the belt, coolant and brake fluid service. Both done at Itallia in Lincoln and very happy with their service.

Being honest mates with Jap bikes pay similar so I'm happy with the prices charged.

Its only the 948R that needs a belt change every year? All the 999/S,R etc every 2 years.

Why pay for an oil & filter job or even for changing brake pads...Most bike owners should be able to do these. I do though take the bike in for the major services.

i didnt ask for the pads to be changed at my service, i was aware that they needed changing but dealer kindly did it for me and charged me etc
my fault for not instructing them to change pads!
