OND you reminded me of another bit. You should be able to test your battery or at least know how to keep it fully charged. Great tips and facts here at your search tool desires.
Cmadden we have a RAT pack here in Minn if your so inclined.

I just took my '99 in with the plastic and tank off. I had the valve clearances checked (no adjustment needed), throttle body sync, new spark plugs, engine coolant change, ECU check, oil change and replacement of a leaky seal at the front sprocket. I have an intermittent problem with my bike idling in extreme heat and humidity. They looked into that also, but they did not find a problem. It came out to a little over $500 US.

I changed the air and fuel filter myself. I used a stock Triumph air filter and a BMW fuel filter. They cost me about $55.

Just had my 6K done.............came out to $215. Seems to be just an oil change.

Just got my 2004 baby back from its 20,000-km service. No outstanding issues apart from the fact that I still have that squealing from the back brakes. The head techie suggested that if the sound didn’t go away after a couple of rides, I should bring it back as I could have a warped disc.

I took it out for a quick 100-km run and she’s running sweeter than ever.

The work was done @ Procycles (St Peters). All in all, I think it was pretty good value and the service, as I’ve always found the team, pretty friendly and helpful. The hire bike was a Suzuki GS500 @ $25 pd. Seriously under-powered but the gearbox was very smooth (not clunky like the Sprint) and the handling was a little eager but not too bad.

I hope this gives you an idea for when yours is due for its 20K service. Note – all figures are in Oz $$.

I read it before Dave and you definitely got a top deal. Sadly, Sydney dealers can charge like a Mallee bull, and do. Bottom line is I'm happy and its the price of motorcycling pleasure.

Way to go Adam,
being happy with what you have is important and you are quite right Sydney has a higher cost of living compared to up here.

cheers,
