Would i be right to assume that if there was a problem, you'd notice in the ride of the bike?

I have an 850 with 38K on the clock will be 41k by May. No service history so worth checking? on the day?

Problem is I wanna be leaving for about 3 - 4 on the Sunday, this gonna give me enough time to check them?

not necessarily, once you start noticing it the damage is done

if it aint been done at that mileage i wouldnt be riding it til they are done
chances are they wont even need doing, but its a quick job to check for a mechanic doing a service
