15,000 mile service
When I bought the bike at 11,300 miles, I replaced the coolant, oil, oil filter, tires, chain and sprockets, and just recently the air filter
I'm thinking all I will have to do now is the valve adjustment, spark plugs, and lube the steering bearings, and replace the brake lines. Is there anything else I should check? Should I replace fork and shock oils/seals? Anything on these bikes that wears faster than the manual says? |
