Hello all.
Member comfy doing this one not long ago and am going to do plugs as well. Quick question tho. Is there anywhere that's good for ordering service parts from? Ie oil/filters/plugs etc?
Just though Id ask before doing the usual eBay.
Is there any particular brands I should be sticking to (obviously nothing Chinese)?
Might need rear pads as well me thinks.
Any help or advice welcome.

Yep - from recollection its mainly a plug and oil change - everything else is checks (youre saying your needing rear pads) so it shows you's checkin stuff!
Oil: i use Silkolene pro 4 fully synthetic Plugs: NGK Filter: Now, i used and have always used K&N filters but on the AF1 forum (RSV4) to which i also use K&N some have said theyve failed in whatever shape way or form so, while i still use them you may want to go for stock (some lads on there swear by HiFlow) but theyve always struck me and cheap and cheerful...your shout on that one...
Mines going in at its 12k service which is a valve check - i dont have the tools or the knowledge to be able to do that so its going in to get a stamp in the book - all the intermediate services i can do but will get dealers to do the major services. |

Nice one Comfy. Want to be doing my exhaust as well but as always and with good reason my bike comes last.
Hopefully get exhaust done before the summer. Fingers crossed.

I would say 10/40 at a guess. Will check my book. To be fair 10/40 is a good guess for most  |
