Maintenance
Well, we have different ways to look at things.
I have restored bike during 20 years, 1-2 bikes per year.
And done 97% of the work myself.
I do not use work shops to do regular maintenace.
Only for things that require expensive machinery. Like boring cylinders, valve seat, valve jobs.
Just to have to give the bike to a workshop for regular maintenace shows the problem I described.

I had my DL650 in the shop for its first-ever maintenance of any sort...
At 18,000 miles it needed nothing at all.

Gives 2 follow up questions:
) How may hours did it take the workshop to come to the conclusion that it needed nothing at all ?
2) What was the cost for that ?
