Greetings gearheads...
Just wondering what mechanical issues you all consider a good idea to check out on a yearly basis. I don't really have the know-how, time, or space to do my own maintenance, so before I put the bike up for the winter this year, I'm thinking I'll take it to a shop for a once over. I know I'm just asking to be gouged if I take it to a shop and ask them to tell me if it needs work :BLAA: so that's where you all come in! What's the kind of thing I should ask them to look at, what should I be wary of paying them to do, etc? I'm thinking stuff like the brakes, tires, chain, and cooling system should all be checked out, is there anything else?
The bike has about 4k miles on it, and is a 2008 FZ6.
