Is this the bike that needs servicing between services?

Thats good to hear mate, this ones only on 700 miles!. Has your mate had the piston replaced at all or just done regular oil changes and valve adjustments etc?

hi yer it is mine actually and yer i changed the the piston at 250 hrs i think it was about £150 inc piston camchain, seal, and gaskets not a difficult
servicing wise try and and do it every 10 hrs use , just a oil change new filters x2 every now and then , valve clearance and remember to clean the two oil screens under the engine .
other than that great bike , i have just bought new body work to change the colour 8)
