Hi,

Just purchased a yr 2000 duke 748 with 7,700 mile on the clock. It had a full service at 6000 miles but that was 2 years ago. Since the service it has done 1,700 miles in 2 years and has mostly been garaged. The Haynes manual states that a major service is due at 12,000 or 2 years, so in theory it is due a 12,000 mile service.

I cannot afford to pay the £650 that a workshop want for the service and wondered what should I get done and what are the jobs that a novice mechanic who has no experience with servicing engines can do ones self.

Thanks

Juckky
