    If I remember correctly... the manufacturer has listed something called "service intervals". Along with this, would be a schedule of what needs doing at each service. Normally a minor and major cycled. Sometimes two minor and a major.

    Might be a good place to start?

    Then there are things called "brake pads" and "tyres" and "chain" closely followed in the same sentence with "sprockets". These are also important items, that need to be replaced when worn, otherwise, you will die.

    Best of all, none of it has to be done by a regal person (such as a queen) which is good, because we don't have any in the country. Some (shock, horror) could even be done by yourself!

    Otherwise... there's lots of establishments called "motorcycle shops" aka "workshops" etc, that could assist as well.

    Now you're being silly!

    Everyone knows that you can get a Duke or a Prince to maintain your bike and it will still be classed as 'Regal' (provided they use the Royal Stamp in the book).

    Though fair play to you in giving the advice that I have criticised. There are quite a number of old Queens working in workshops around who are able to give you a good service and also stamp you ticket firmly afterwards.

    As far as I'm aware, the call-out fee for regal mechanics is OUTRAGEOUS, though old Lizzie is known to be a dab hand dealing with old crankcases...
    has developed a love of big fours. WTF!

    -Oil change and oil filter every 10,000K's
    -Check and tighten (when required) chain every w/e. Also grease chain at same time.
    -Airfilter approx every 30,000K's
    -Fuel filter approx every 30,000K's
    -Tyre pressure weekly
    -Valve clearance as required by model. Being Hyosung I assume often...

    And if my reports are correct the Hyosungs need a motor replacement every 40,000K's.

    May the bridges I burn light the way.
