To dealer service or not

Not worth a toss now. I have kept up dealer stamped service histories and they dont add jack shit to the bike value. In fact, I would contend you are better spending your wedge on a skilled independant rather than the 16 yr old gibbon that most KTM dealers will let loose on your bike.

Oil and filter changes I do myself so I know exactly what is being done. Anything else is done at Tagg Racing. I would rather burn the bike and claim on insurance than let the local KTM dealer touch it.
Fair comment - i've felt the same when i used to own a Triumph. I let a dealer loose on my 675 and they gave it back to me with a overtighted chain - making me worry what else they didn't do correctly.... a few weeks later the engine exploded

If you're in the Laguna area, try Paul, ex-Bracken workshop - he's looked after mine for the last 60k miles.

I live in Manchester area so no close dealers to be fair, all are at least 40miles away of pure motorway
