Parts and servicing

Service schedule

No more complicate­d than any other modern bike to work on and easier than most, as everything’s pretty easy to get to. The service schedule’s pretty simple — 6000-mile intervals, with oil and filter changed at every service along with full chassis/body fixing check, head bearings adjusted, ECU fault codes checked and cleared, throttle bodies balanced, spark plugs checked and controls adjusted.

Every other service sees valve-clearance checking — important as valves can tighten alarmingly between services — along with air filter, spark plugs, coolant and brake fluid changes. Fork oil’s changed every 24k but we’d do it with each 12,000-mile service. It’s also worth cleaning and re-greasing head bearings and suspension pivots at the same time.

New and used parts prices

New genuine parts are ok, with oil and air filters at £24.37 and £9.55 respective­ly, chain and sprockets at £153 and brake pads for around £40 a pair (slightly more for the R). Cosmetics and major parts are pricey though — discs are £230 each and a radiator, £524. The Street is well served by the aftermarke­t though, and Wemoto can supply air and oil filters at £14.78 and £5.28, brake pads from £17, discs from £150 and chain and sprocket kits from £98.

There are quite a few Streets in breakers, and as most mechanical parts are common (as well as with the Daytona), spares supply is good — specific cosmetic parts can be tricky though. A quick look online finds mirrors from £15, front calipers from £35, radiators from £90, forks from £125, early round headlights from £50 each and later slanty ones from £65 a pair.
