996R service
 

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:lol:

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 :o

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!:lol::lol:

PMSL :lol::lol:

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:D. 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 ??

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

Yes, but its run out
Whats the belts got to do with the service??:puzzled:
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 :puzzled:

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