Owner's Manual... Somewhere beginning on pg. 102. Too many to list. This is a major service. Price wise, gotta call a dealer and ask the price of a major service? This is valves checked, oils dumped, like brake fluids and all that.

cj, are we saying let the dealer service my bike or do I do a little to it or just ride it like the car. If I have a problem with the car or need general servicing, I take it in.
Because, if you took the panels off or took as much off to save time, you could cut that service price down buy just doing as much servicing of those dots in the book as you can. What you cannot handle, have those addressed like the valve adjustment or the throttle sync. Just a suggestion if you are so-so as in mechanically inclined to handle the chain lube and adjustments, a visual at the radiator hoses and it is more a visual look over, where the majors are the combos there of in the 15/24K radio dots in the blocks.

I'd second Hub if its something you're interested in doing... I just stripped the cowling this past weekend to fix some things the shop reinstalled improperly. After reading through the How To Sticky on Fairing Removal by Rook it went pretty smooth, and that is a good portion of the shop's labor. For my first time, it took me < 3 hours off and back on, cleaning everything underneath and routing a power cable for my ram mounted gps.
