August 11, 200915 yr welcome to the mad house devildfor,it wont do no harm to have it serviced,i have a mate who i now and trust to do mine ,as i dont trust grease monkeys at most garages,but that dont mean that you cant trust em,ya pays yur money and takes your chance?'.
August 12, 200915 yr Hiya.. I also have a T Reg R6 and it was my first bike too Bought mine last August, ive found with mine the clutch needs attention soon and I have just replaced chain & sprockets. Oils perfect for the age, its been maintained & changed regularly...just keep an eye on that...hoses etc Been riding mine now almost a year and the bike still amazes me now..
August 12, 200915 yr even if you have a mate who you could call an 'expert' to look over it i think it should at least quarm any questions or concerns. If not then i suppose no harm in booking it into a garage. Luckily i have a section at work who service all their own cars/bikes etc, and i can pop mine down to them, even get the service paperwork
