servicing

The servicing is not hard if you are competent but it is best to get a manual at least to see how to do the valves.

You need to change the fork oil by removing the legs and inverting them (over a bucket) and then refilling
Change air and oil filters and plugs and maybe fuel filter.
Change brake fluid
Check pad and disc wear
Check head bearings when the forks are out.

The hardest thing is the valve clearances. Measuring them is easy and replacing the inlets is not too bad using the tool. I got one off ebay for a modest sum. The exhausts can be more difficult - may be easier to take out the camshaft. There is a weblink that shows how to do it on the older Triumphs - very similar to the newer ones
