long(for me) ride/ 6000mi service
to make this short and sweet, im taking a 350mi trip from Reading, Pa to Roanoke, VA in two weeks. Right now, im at 5900mi, by the time the trip comes i may be as much as 6500mi. My question is, should i get the bike serviced before the trip, or after? here is what i know:
- i changed the oil about a month ago, so that should be fine - my chain needs to be adjusted, its too loose. - my coolant is at L - tires are getting a flat spot (i commute a lot, no twisties(unfortunately)) all in all, the bike runs fine, but needs some small tuning. im not sure what the 6000mi service calls for, but i was debating whether to do it before or after. thoughts and opinions are appreciated |

I would say before. Don't wanna break down out in the middle of nowhere.
You can re-check stuff after your trip. |
