I had a bit of a shock at the weekend. The GSXR 600 was due for its MOT and I thought I might as well get it serviced again at the same time. The shock was when Streetbike in Halesowen, the trusty motorbike dealer, rang me later to say that I’d done 14500 miles on it and it needed a more detailed looking at. I always use the trip counter so I can gauge how much fuel I have left and never use the odometer. I did not realise I had done so many miles on the bike in three years. Only a few things wrong with it though. That was a dirty butterfly valve in the carburettor that was sticking and a worn nylon bush on the gear lever. Streetbike say they’ll do the extra work at a reduced price. There amazing guys and I would recommend them to anybody
