Seems like a reasonable checklist. I'm a little tentative with stuff like this because it's so important to get right the first time. Either way it'll get done.

10,000km service. Anything I am forgetting?

Brake fluid will absorb water over time leading to erratic feeling brakes due to heat expansion. If the color of your fluid is black, it may be due to some other problem, like a home mechanic who contaminated it somehow. You can change it of you want, after all it has been 4 years and you get some peace of mind.

Breaks bled / new fluid - Recommended. Throw some braided lines on if not on already while you're at it.
Coolant flush / new fluid - Not really necessary unless you're having an overheating issue. Dead simple and cheap to do if you want to.
New sprockets and chain - Check them but they should not be worn out at 10k.
New plugs - Check them but they should not need replacing at 10k.
New air filter - Recommended. Mine gets super dirty in way less than 10k.

Still running the stock rubber line?
All you need is an 8mm wrench, a piece of hose, and a bottle. No fancy **** required.

Yeah Baggzy is slacking, this knowledge is well archived
. Anyways just wanted to thank everyone who chimed in. Probably saved me some NOOB tax when all is said and done.

I'm with you. Between work and family time I don't get much time to ride. I'm happy to drop it off, know it's done right, pick it up when it's done and save what little free time I do have to ride it rather than wrench it.

Why should I sweat the details, when the owner should obviously know his own bike, and have a manual.
Besides, I don't believe that either of you know either, or you would have mentioned it.
All I know is that on page 6-4 in my owner's manual there is a maintenance chart.

It's in Jayells' sig line, that's how detail oriented I am. If you want to call yourself a GTAMer you would know that
He may have mentioned a FZ6R in one post, or a hundred.Why should I sweat the details, when the owner should obviously know his own bike, and have a manual.

Brake bleeder kits for motorcycles are cheap...hose with a check valve like this one

Just checked with my buddy Manuel. He agrees with everything you stated.

I did have a CBR600F4I, but i wanted an upgrade
I've always been under the assumption that stock rated plugs are the way to go, feel free to change that opinion if you want.
No, second set. Front was new last season and i just put a new rear on a month ago. It did have the original Dunlop on the back when i got the bike tho, replaced it immediately.
Good guess, it might be superior but it still has to be taken care of

This is my first season with the R and it didn't come with a manual. Who needs a manual when i''ve got you guys guiding me tho
