GS Maintenance course in Swansea.

[Taff]

As some of you may have already picked up from THIS THREAD Slimbo has kindly offered to hold a GS specific maintenance course on a Saturday in January (date to be arranged) in Swansea ie about an hours ride from the Severn Bridge.

Slimbo suggests that "it will be a basic servicing day with practical. Lunch will be provided and all for a nominal fee. A veggie option will be available on the lawn. Once any costs are coverd then all spare dosh to be given to a local childrens charity" to include

1. Checking oil and fluid levels
2. changing oil filter
3. changing spark plugs
4. replacing brake pads and components
5. fixing punctures
6. jump starting
7. tappet adjustment
8. tps setting (I'm sure he will explain to me what a tps is)
9. throttle body balancing

Gipsy, Elvie and myself have already put our names down for this, so if you're interested please add your name to this thread. Realistically I would have thought that we will need at least 8-10 to justify Slimbo giving up a Saturday.

Thanks MMC. Any more?

Between you and the replies in the duplicate thread in the Wales section I make it about 9 so far.

am tempted... would camping be available in the same place as the veggie option

Can do most things but don't know what TPS is and wouldnt have a clue how to do the tappets or the throttle balancing

Put me down, as the bike mileage has now exceeded 30k and its an 04 plate I think it's about time I at least had a basic working knowledge of how it all fits.
