I am lucky as my servicing is done very cheaply by my mate, and its very well looked after sadly it is always at the back of the queue so spends more time in the workshop than my garage. but i have a couple of other money pits in the form of a RGV250SP and keeping the RC30 in better shape than when i got it costs an arm and a leg after each weekends use i find something else that looks either a bit old or worn so gets replaced. So in the 1500 odd miles i have done on the RC in 6 months i have spend around 17 - 1800 quid in bits on the 916 after 3000 so far this year it has cost me around £400 and that includes the last breakdown in france so new rectifier, battery, gene, service, tyres, C&S etc etc In relative terms i spend far too much on bikes out of my sallary but hey you only live once ! |
