As stated on your earlier thread shopping around or going DIY (assuming bike is out of warrenty) could have saved a bundle of cash. I'm amazed the chain and sprockets needed replacing at just 4700 miles unless neglected. Same goes for spark plugs (cleaning and re-gapping should be adequate), air filter and the front pads. My previous set of pads lasted over 15,000 miles on the trike.

Subtracting that lot would have shaved £306.92 off the bill including VAT
