    53000kms (I'll take that as the 50k check) is easy enough... mostly a visual, change oil and filter, check brake pads (done during a warrant of fitness anyway), steering head bearing (again- don't by the WoF guys/gals) and some EDT check whatever the hell that is.

    I'd personally take the check list, wander around the bike checking off the visual checks, do the oil and filter and call it a day.

    Filter = $20, oil = $30, the rest is learning and dirty fingers.

    Just my 5c anyway but then you should also be aware I'm not a "fastidious" motorcyclist. I'm mechanically trained and have an appreciation of machinery - and I know it's more resilient than the service intervals suggest becuase they will always cater to the worst possible scenario (poorly built bike, working hard in sub optimal conditions)

    Unless that's you, you can relax on a few things - unless it voids a warrantee somewhere along the line.
    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details

    If its just oil and filter + the odd wee thing to look at (what im saying is i dont do valve clearances, they get on my nerves) give me a pm / txt (0212685528), and it can join the list of those who have passed through my gargre, anytime since i live & work at home

    No charge of course

    edit: What you'll need is Oil (Whatever it says on the case/in the owners manual, a quick google suggests 15w50), Filter + a Crush Washer
