    Got my 15,000 mile service looming on the horizon in the month or 2. It's quite a major one according to my servivce manual.

    Can you buy kits that have all the parts in ie spark plugs, filters etc or do I need to get them all individually?

    Be much easier if I can order 1 box that has everything I need for a set price...

    You can do, no prob...

    What bike you got?
    Sometimes you can get stuff online cheaper seperatly if you know what you are looking for... Bought 4 NGK plugs for my CBR on eBay for £6.12!

    DONT buy service parts at the dealers... deliberatly overpriced to get you to get them to service your bike for you.

    A bit like buying sandwiches in a service station

    If you shop around, you'll get it all a LOT cheaper. i.e. get your iridium spark plugs from Ace Parts on Ebay, cheaper than std. Get your oil&filter&brake fluid from Camberley auto spares, etc. Can i reccomend you get a mityvac or similar if you haven't yet got a bleeder, makes bleeding brakes, and changing the fluid a joy

    I use syringes bought of ebay for about a fiver for five. Multiple use - fork oil filing, gearboxes, shaft drives and they are brilliant for changing brake fluid - just need a small plastic tube to go over the bleed nipple to the syringe.

    Snowy, once you've had a vacuum bleeder, you'll never go back.

    Maybe but I can bleed three brakes and an ABS modulator in about 15 minutes with no mess for a fiver. Must be my Scottish gene pool.... ;D ;D
