Going to be a learning curve but gonna service my bike myself from now on, used to service my enduro bikes so will be okay. Had a R15k major service at the local dealer 7500km ago, granted it included tyres and new chain + sprockets, I needed to save some bucks so got stuck into some DIY after buying the parts and watching some Youtube. I found some concerning things - air filter was totally perished, to a point that it disintegrated in part, one of the plastic intake things above the carb butterflies was dislodged and lying parallel to its butterfly blocking the carb - obviously wasn't secured properly, no o-ring on the top oil screen and no crush washer on the oil drain plug. Positive side is that I got to buy new tools and learn how the bike fits together.
