Exactly. They don't even have to touch the air filter as it now a K&N, and the plug is an upgraded Iridium jobbie, so that doesn't need changing.
It's the one and only time it's going in for a service

My Meteor cost £161 for the 300 mile service at Enfield dealer..Tappets, oil and filter and a check over..some owners have paid £220, Got my brother to do the 3000 mile service which is a spanner check (£160 at dealer) He re did the tappets and changed the oil as an extra.....£80. No brainer for me he does all the servicing and they can do approved warranty work and my book gets stamped.

After deliberation, I have cancelled the "stealer service".

Here is my thinking.

It's a £4.5k bike.
The warranty is worth fuck all with 7 months to run.
Filters and gaskets £24
2 Litres of Motul 15/50 Fully synth.
How hard can it be to adjust two valves.
The bike is as basic as fuck

Sorted

Total cost £75.
