A minor service.

A regular, or Minor service on most bikes is around $320.00. This will vary according to things like how much is involved in removing and refitting any bodywork necessary, how much oil the motor takes, and on some bikes, like BMW and Harley Davidson, and shaft drive bikes, where there are seperate transmission and final drive oils to drain and refill.

A minor service is changing the engine oil and filter, checking, adjusting, and aligning the chain, checking the lights, levels, tyres, brakes, steering head and wheel bearings, battery and charging system, and a spanner check on the key bolts on the bike.

 

Tune and Service.

The next step is a Tune and Service, which is all of the above, plus changing spark plugs, adjusting idle mixture and idle speed, and synchronising carburettors or throttle bodies (where applicable), and replacing the fuel filter as required. This usually requires the removal of the fuel tank and fairing panels. A service of this type would be around $450.00 to $500.00.

 

Major Service

A major service is where all of the above, plus changing the brake fluid and coolant, checking valve clearances, (and adjusting as required), plus other work as required. This is a very thorough service and is recommended every 40,000 km or so, depending on manufacturers recommendations.

 

Wheels and tyres

To remove a wheel, remove and replace the tyre, balance the wheel, and refit to the bike, is $50 per wheel.

On a loose wheel, (that is, one you have removed), to remove and replace tyre, and balance the wheel, is $25.00
