Great advice. I practice all of the points mentioned. Owning four bikes as I do it's essential to minimise costs whilst still keeping everything in check. My vfr750 gets put to bed in the spring, ready for next autumn 😊.
The attitude to self-servicing bikes does seem generational . I'm 62 and it wouldnt occur to me to pay somebody to do it but when i speak to some younger people it seems the opposite and when i see what some youtubers pay for servicing its shocking !!
I service three of my bikes but not the newest a 2023 Street Triple RS. Only because of warranty and that I believe Dealer Tool is not fully compatible with it yet. It's the first new bike I've ever owned. I do really enjoy working on my bikes though, I get as much pleasure carrying maintenance as I do riding.
Great info - great video 👍
