What have you done to bike » Annual maintenance

I was an unusually warm day here in Maryland and I was 27 miles from the annual service mile limit, so I figured I'd go for a nice ride to warm the bike up and then get to work. I've had the bike just short of 5 years and this is the first time I've run out of miles before I ran out of the calendar year. 27,000 trouble free and enjoyable miles. I was done in a little under 2 hours and the GS-911 didn't find any codes thrown so I think I'm good until I wear the tires out. I really can't understand why the local dealers want North of $400 dollars for what I did today and somehow a beer always tastes better knowing I've saved myself a goodly some of money and spent quality time with my bike, even if I wasn't riding it.

I just did mine. Oil/filter change. Flush brake fluid. Check spark plugs. Check air filter.

Indeed basic servicing is really easy. I’ve been doing my 2015 bike ever since it enjoyed the second (warranty) service at a dealer. Saved a fortune. And saved a lot of time.

And now that the miles have reached 45k the effect of DIY servicing on part exchange value is irrelevant now.

I can’t change tyres though 😀

I have no way of changing my tires either. The dealer will do them for me if I take the wheels in and buy the tires from them for a reasonable fee. They aren't much over the price of the cheapest I can buy tires mail order and they've never put a mark on the rims. I drop the wheels off in the morning and pick them up on the way home from work.
