hay guys bike is due for a 12tho ks service in about 6 months time.. but seeing i am going on this big trip and decided to take my bike on it i would like someone to look over it before this advanture.... i have called a few places to get quotes pro yamaha said $240 and team honda said $380 WTF ? anyway does anyone know of a mobile bloke in brissy that could come to my house and do it ? i can change air and oil filter and plugs but what does the 12k service consist of to be around that $$$ mark i only got it serviced in november and only put 1200ks on it since then.. do u think it needs one or will i be safe...

Depends on what they did during the November service and whether it covers the tasks set for the 12,000 service.

the service in november was just a general check ova oil filter, oil check everything over check battery etc etc etc etc.. i have been told not sure if true at 12,000ks ur valve clearence has to be checked which was not done at the service in november... seeing i have 2000ks under my belt before that and the ride is 4000 would it matter if its done at 14,000ks and not 12000 ? and just do it when i get back ? i am only ridding for 8 days so would an extra 8 days really heart in the sceam of things i struggling for dosh atm due to work going under and not sure when i will be getting paid.... and seeing my gf still works (brings in 400 a week) i am not allowed to get the centerlink payments...

Well mate it is a quandary hey. Personally as you said they are tough bikes but for mine i would be doing before you go . All your clearances are to be checked as well the drives . Look in your book ,should be under the seat,it gives a detailed 12000 k service.In the scheme of things it is one of the major ones' . I'm only 1000k away from it myself and if i was looking at ride that you are undertaking for peace of mind and ride free trouble i think it's worth it. This is my thoughts and totally up to you how to proceed. Money well spent now might just save you heaps on the ride. Cheers Ray

I'd recommend you do and oil and air filter change. Once you've done your trip get a full service done.
