… well to be fair Blinkey volunteered …mad fool! 
I am going to attempt the 14 k service. So …after using the search function; yes there are some of us who can do at least that; this is what I have come up with as my schedule for you all to comment on and highlight the obvious errors for hopefully it may help for other mechanical numpties such as myself …And no Jay I am not going to attempt it all in one go, even I am not that dumb… well I may be but not in this case…LOL
From what I have read the 14k service is mainly Filters Oil, Coolant checking tightness of various bits and pieces, greasing/ oiling things etc. And as I have looked at the manual... it tells you to change the fuel lines every 4yrs so give them a good looking at - at the very least....
I already have the Fuel exhausts to replace standard – so that is one job down!
1) First make sure I have access to a paddock stand! Or even an Abba stand
2) Get access to a Stubby Flex Head Ratchet Set not the cheaper ones - where from?
3) Then as we are changing the front sprocket for a 15 tooth jobbies I should remember to make sure I tighten to the correct torque and use a glob of thread lock (locktite )
4) 4 iridium spark plugs - NGK's Iridium plug for the Falco is the DCPR9EIX there's also the DENSO IXU27 Before removing the spark plugs take care to clean all the crap away from the surrounding area of the plugs on the Falco, blast the head cavities with compressed air if you can. Check out an IT supplier for cans of compressed air. You don't need to torque spark plugs though. Just follow the instructions on the box. It is something like do up to finger tight then 1/2 turn with a wrench. If you do fit some, check their tightness occasionally
5) IF you do have to whip the spark plugs, the process is as follows:
A) Remove the two bolts holding the front of the tank in place. (8mm). lift the tank and find a suitable propping up tool.
B) Remove the 7 bolts holding the airbox cover on. (7mm), remove the airbox cover and the air filter.
C) Remove the six 4mm Allen bolts around the throttle bodies. Remove the airbox.
D) Remove the rubbery plastic piece connecting the front air intakes.
6) Now you should have access to all 4 spark plugs. Assembly is the reverse of the instructions above. The intake hoses are a bit of a pain, but a bit of a wiggle and a jiggle (reminds me of a song) and they should be fine.
7) For the air filter eventually look at changing for the full Evoluzione air kit which will last as long, but will give increased performance as well over an K&N air filter – but for now a sponge performance one which can be cleaned and reused is best
8) I have summarized the various views on oil as:
Use sport4 oil - 15/30 semi synthetic or Rock Oil (Sigma) semi, Castrol semi synth or Putoline semi 15.50 or Motul 5100 15W-50 the 300V is pretty much WSBK spec and is way OTT for our bikes. It can be found here http://www.opieoils.co.uk Opie Oils can provide a discount and filters etc. If in doubt put what was already there as older models may have clutch slippage issues with fully synth.
Use a standard oil filter - check size long or short and get appropriate cover if needed (change to long if short how do I check this easily?) long is about 72mm short is about 36mm I think
Drain the oil from the oil tank and the crank case as shown in the diagram
Oil change location image
Once finished then to turn the service message off, just hold in the main beam flash switch and press the 'R' button until it's gone
Other Jobs
I have Valve check is not part of the 14k service and also read that it is so which is it?
While doing the plugs etc … Check it has been derestricted and that cables are covered or fitted with connectors to avoid shorting
If you buy a torque wrench make sure it comes with a calibration certificate.... you'll probably have to spend a few more pennies, go for Britool or Norbar if you can. Have a new bolt ready to replace one that is proving difficult to remove is a good move as it may be weakened when removing and prone to snapping on refitting.
Future Jobs
Fit the "upgrade" clutch oil jet (not actually part of the service and not sure if I need to as mine is an 04 bike?)
Replace the coolant various options such as premixed Halfords or self mix but again which one …??
Optional - Replace the coolant expansion tank with a shiny Tuono one with CF cover (again not actually part of the service).
Still got to replace clutch and brake fluid and lines Cobra or HEL
Okay so what did I miss and what do I need to know aprt from a decision on the oil?
