I have all of the plastic off right now and replacing some parts, cleaning,etc. and curious if anyone wants to recommend I do some things while everything is easier to get to with the plastic off.
Here’s what maintenance I’ve done so far:
– changing the fluids in the engine (& filter), tranny, front/rear gear boxes.
– new spark plugs.
Here’s what I’m ordering parts for to repair while plastic is off:
– gonna replace the drive belt (be good to have spare anyway).
– gonna replace bent handlebars and maybe raise 1 inch.
– gonna grease all zerks (19?).
– gonna replace small broken foot brackets, etc.
– gonna replace speedo cable (throwing a throttle code right now and kind of
a last resort trying to get code to clear. tried about everything else).
– gonna replace all 4 u-joints (2- front drive shaft, 2-rear drive shaft) as
there is some very minor play in them right now.
– gonna order a few extra bolts, nuts, springs, plastic rivets, etc.
Also, a friend of mine (who 4-wheels vehicles a lot) says to liberally coat anything on the underside with WD-40 as it helps dirt and grease to clean off easier plus it allows for easier wrenching when turning bolts, etc.
Everyone/Anyone, please feel free to weigh in on any ideas as now is the time to perform the maintenance.
Thanks for the input folks :thanks:
