LOL, well as long as a fellow biker's misery has been to rest..

Post up with what they did, how much the spares were, etc. Just a brief topical note would be fine.

PS: The name's Akhil

PPS: I don't know your name

Hi Akhil,

Labour + ST = 7000
Oil 5 ltrs = 885
Filter = 614
Total = Rs 8499/-

General Service, oil + filter change, chain adjusted, cleaned and lubed, brake pads check, electric check, all bulbs check, battery voltage check, throttle cable play adjusted, lighting system check, full wash and polish.

The MT has 2 drain bolts for the oil; one for the oil tank the other for the crank case. You've got to remove the belly pan for the crank case bolt. Same for the R1?

All this can be done yourself too but you need the Yam stamp for warranty .

The entire service was like a show for the people in my building, the lads had an audience while they worked. I went back up when they started draining the oil from the tank and only came down when they were polishing the beast.

They've told me inspite of what the manual says, the 2nd service should be done at 5k kms. Same for you?

@streetfighter: I spoke to Mahesh today,and Man, when you said colourful, I didn't completely believe you.. Now I do!

You are one lucky SOB man! Drink on me next time you're here in Bangalore

Dunno if he told you about the celebrity connection et al! I don't drink but you can buy me a coca cola when I'm there next.

Hey Streetfighter,

Many thanks for the text, will definitely keep in touch with ya via our very own xbhp. Once there will call ya too. Keep safe bro!

Jay.
