Second Service

Hi Guys,

More advice needed!

My SD is due its 2nd service in April and everyone is quoting silly money like £400 ! However I have spoken to Bob and Kyle who used to work for Sideways in Dorset and they'll do me a service for £200.

Bob says that in his experience valve clearances and plugs won't need doing until 9000 miles and mines only done 5650 at present, what are your thoughts on this?

They aren't an official dealer anymore but I would trust them way more than any official KTM dealer now that Sideways have gone.

oh and it'll be just out of warranty on the 2nd service so not bothered about that really.

You could probably forego 2nd service. The first one is the most important. And again at around 10K when plugs, valve adjustments, TB sync, chain and sprockets need to be looked at.
