The bike is going in next week, so I will update when it comes out.

Two other things I have discovered are now added to the list:

Rear tyre is finished, unfortunately when I inspected it at the weekend, (I usually do it every month), it has now two nails in it and is cut quite badly in places so that is being done.

Tread depth wise, the tyre is fine on now nearly 4,000 miles.

I am going to replace with the same tyre (Dunlop Roadsmart III) as I have found this tyre fine in dry and a wet.

The bike also has stopped locking on the centre stand for reasons I dont know, but another thing for them to look at.

Also discovered that oil is supposed to be changed every 3,000 miles, even though service is every 6,000 miles...

Seems daft having to change the oil at 3000 miles with modern synthetic oils,
did mine today at 2970 miles and you could see through the stuff :roll:

I'm always disturbed just how black the oil on any Tmax I've owned looks like after 3000 miles!
