Hello
respect to nelly
khushy like me there is a lot of work that can be done by ourselves, personally I enjoy the garage time.
One point raised by nelly,
"There are several that have serviced their own bike in my workshop with my tools, taking advice when needed and paid only for the parts they've used. There are quite a few that do there own shimming and use my stock of shims etc. It’s really not that difficult, you only need some feeler gauges."
which I though is something that not many service centers well offer and possibly missing from the DSC as a club,
I would like to see courses run by the DSC for all levels in basic/advanced maintence,
sorry can not speak for the new models as mine is a 97yr bip with a 2001yr engine.
I did attend a course a few years back in Oxford (valve clearences checking etc) and would be happy to attend again.
Some people are under warrenty, some are not, we all love the bikes
and I am sure we would all like to know more about keeping them running sweet.
