Default 600-miles service

Just completed my SV650S's 600-miles services.

Man, what a major PITA that was. I started at 10 AM and I'd just finished it at 4:00 PM. Of course, about 3 hours of that time was spent on syncing the throttle valve and of that 3 hours, 2 hours were spent on scratching my head trying to figure out what the hell happened because I plugged both of the vaccum gage tubes into the tubes of the same valve.

Now my back and shoulders are hurting.

Why in the hell am I doing to myself ? I guess for the love of riding and because I am cheap (also want to make sure that I actually torque-checked every nut and ball).
