G'day all, i don't have a service/workshop manual and am 10klms from 60,000k's, wondered if anyone knows what work is done for this service. Thought it would be good to know what to expect before i get some quotes, thanks...

peterk, Main items added at every 20 K:

-valve check/adjustment
-headbearings adjust/lube
-air filter
-sparkplug renew
-balance TBs
-replace fuel filter
-fork oil replacement

Most important item is the valve check followed closely by the TB balance. Because the cam cover is removed, which requires sparkplug removal it's a good time to replace the sparkplugs.

Thanks Brad, sounds like a bit of work! I am up for new chain and sprockets also, sounds like a quick $1,000, better start saving me thinks...

peterk, Just to avoid any possible cylinder head damage, it's best to take it in for just the valve clearance/adjustment and new 'plugs, which should save around half. The others can be done when the wallet permits.

Thanks Brad, sounds like a good idea! And trying not to show my lack of knowledge, i still gotta ask what r "-balance TBs"???

peterk, That's balancing the throttle bodies. This procedure mainly effects the idle quality, but insures all cylinders are equally sharing the load throughout the rev range.
