How many K's for a service

[07fatboy]

lols well i took it to red baron. The dude there seemed pretty helpful. I asked him to show me how to change oil etc (i'm pretty noober) and he did. He said the chain's become a bit loose, but thats to be expected. He gonna check other stuff too. It should be done by today. Mannnn, I'm missing my bike already. I WANT IT BACK!!!

Howdy ppls. I've been riding around about 1.5/2 months now, finished about 3000ks. I'm thinking about taking my cbr in for a general service and oil change. Is it too quick? too late? some people told me 2000ks, some told me 5000ks. The bike is mint, so after like 16 years I don't wanna fuk it up within 2 months.

[SuperDave]

correct me if i am wrong .. but the motor oil and trans oil are the same in a CBR250. if you run a full synthetic oil, you will cause severe clutch slippage .. best to run Motul Semi syn. manufacturers recomendation is 6000 km for oil change but i personally change at about 4000 km.. oil is cheap..

Reading my post again it would have been best for me not to make such a generalization for all high quality synthetic bike oil.

I have run Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic (the motorcycle specific one) in all three of my bikes (FXR, ZXR250, Gixxer) and have had no problem what so ever with clutch slippage on any of the three bikes. In light of this I thought I was making an informed assumption on all high quality fully synthetic oil.

The mobil one does say at the back - 'Excellent wet clutch performance'

Sorry if this caused anyone any confusion.

Cos I said about this many, Not exactly this many,
By the way I was wondering who was going to be Anal enough to count the K's

[twinkle]

It's not like I did the counting, that's what I've got a computer for. And more bored than anal

lols well i took it to red baron. The dude there seemed pretty helpful. I asked him to show me how to change oil etc (i'm pretty noober) and he did.

i understand...my bikes been in the shop for 10 days now.

dun wori man none of us are born naturals....i had a mate show me how its done during the first oil change...tightening the chain is also quite a straightforward procedure

yep. keep an ear on the chain if you go for a long haul ride. mine got loose twice. first time, i didnt have to wait long to take in [combined with the service] second time, i had to wait [was easter, busy cos everyone wants their bikes done] chain jumped off on a corner. not fun. [again, i combined the service] needed a new chain, plus the guard was munted big time.

[Deanos]

I'd change the oil every 5,000k and the filter every second oil change. Its pretty easy to do yourself, just wait for a rainy day and give yourself plenty of time.

DEEEEEEEEWD THATS WRONG!!!! new filter new oil....i couldnt imagine any thing less

[LilSel]

Whats a normal service cost??
*need one*

[rookie]

Whats a normal service cost??
*need one*

depends on what you need doing

i can recommend City Motorcycle Spares though...just had my zxr in there. Very reasonable cost for the work that was done.

I dealt with Ricky...really good dude...can giv them a call on 376 9485
