Service

Don't know where Muddy Sump is based but @William Gillies is in Kelso, Scotland so may be an issue?

TBH a straight oil change type service is not that difficult for most shed mechanics.

 

Muddysump doesn't do Thunderbirds as he says they need securing on a bike ramp to do it properly.

Hi HV
No, don’t work on them sorry. You need to have them strapped to a bench really to be stable enough to work on.
Don’t know anybody else to do it either.
Thanks
David

 

The lubrication service is very straightforward.

Which bits of this schedule give you any concerns? Your air filter is probably fine. Blow it through backwards with an airline and save a few baubies! You can synchronise throttle bodies using TuneECU (free) and a laptop plus a cheap lead (which you need to buy.) Which service is due? You can order everything online and I assume you are well out of warranty anyway. You could just get the dealer (Edinburgh?) to do the diagnostic stuff, maybe while you wait.
Coincidentally I was in Kelso this a.m.
