I just realised how bad I am at getting my bikes serviced
1. Honda MB 50 - Age 16-17 = second hand but never serviced whilst I had it
2. Suzuki GP100 - Age 17-20 = second hand but never serviced whilst I had it
3. Kawasaki ZX6R - 1995-2001 = New and did first 600 mile service only
4. Harley 883 - 2005-2012 = bought second hand never serviced
5. Moto Guzzi V7 - bought 2013, had its first 600 miles then I changed the oil but not the filter in 2017
Never had a problem with any of them and despite doing only 300-500 miles a year on bikes number 3,4 and 5, never trickle charged the battery.
Now I get my 961 and I'm fretting about battery charging, polishing and starting to do the same with the guzzi and even my 14 year old garden ride on. I even check tyre pressures every few years.
I suppose I have saved a bloody fortune in service costs but lucky to be alive.
Anyone worse than me at servicing ?
