I agree with warranty stuff. Otherwise, I do everything! That should be obvious for anybody that knows me or has viewed my lift thread.

I have done everything except the actual tire change. I take them off the bike, but then let the dealer do the rest.
I have a mechanic, not at a dealer, do my forks.. which need re-done this winter because the seals are leaking already. Erik helps me with the other stuff if I ask for it. |

I havent had to do much work on my bikes (dam you Honda), but everything is DIY for me unless I absolutely can not do it my self. I had to have a dealer press on my fork seals, but dissassembled/reassembled everything myself.
FYI. 35,000+ mile fork oil smells like Tater's whore of an ex's you know what. |

My bikes don't go to dealerships. Carolina's won't either now that I'm taking care of them as well.
The only thing I haven't been able to do myself are tire changes, and I'm going to pick up a NoMar and fix that problem shortly.

I change the oil, that's about it........It's not worth my time to attempt other things, especially since I don't have a garage.

Both - DIY and Dealer, although in my case DIY = a friend.
