[Rick]

I priced a 1000 miles serivice ( 1st service ) for my R here in Sweden and its going to cost about 500 GBP or MORE , I am doing the belts next week, I still have 950 miles till its due,
I am thinking of coming over to England in JUNE so does anyone have an idea of what a 1st service for a R costs ?Maybe i CAN SAVE ABIT
Is it the same price as a normal 996 ?
Thanks

If its a genuine 996r, they were last made in 2001!
Service intervals are either time or distance ....
that means although its only done a few miles it should of had at least 4-5 services by now........

and if it has been sitting that long i wouldnt trust the belts on it!

Take it to Nelly at Cornerspeed, (see below for details), then come on a No Limits trackday in June....should be one just along the road from Nelly at Donington in June

Oh, then pop down to Herts/Beds on the way home and go for one of their legendary ride outs.

Rick - my 996R was sat in a showroom for most of its life before I bought it last May. I had the belts changed immediately and this is what they looked like - the new one is on the right ....

The front brake calipers had also seized due to lack of use and had to be overhauled

Yeah Henners you must use your bikes a bit more..........and if you get a bit of a lick on......you can use your brakes!

Come on Henners he's an easy target

It has been serviced before, But the motor was rebuilt totally so you can say its a new motor in it. The bike has done 7300 miles but the motor has done 50 miles. It dropped a MAIN BEARING so it had 4000 GBP of PARTS put in, thats not including labour !!
SO it still needs to have a 1000 mile service, I amdoing the belts next week, they were done in JUNE 2004.
ANYWAY, anyone know of a rough price for a 1st service ??

[andyb]

Is there warranty on the rebuild then.........you doing the belts wont help?

[Rick]

Yes, but its run out
Whats the belts got to do with the service??
I am doing the belts as its nearly 2 years since they were done last . But I dont need to service the bike for another 950 miles which is why I was wondering what it would cost in the UK to get it done

[andyb]

Funnily enought eh belts are part of a service sometimes, ie every 2 years..............
