Title: Maintenance free !!
Post by: chister on November 01, 2004, 07:49:45 PM
Well it was time to prep the bike for this winter. This year unlike all the other 13 ('91 GS) I decided to pull the plugs out and add a bit of fogging oil. This is the first time I looked at the plugs since I bought the bike new! I though I would post a picture of the plug and see if the forum could give me some comments on the state of my bike based on the plug condition. To me it doesn't look that bad for a plug that hasn't been changed in 35k kilometers.
I should explain that every year I do take some steps to prep my bike for the winter and every spring I set about tuning it up depending on how it runs. But this little guy just fires up every spring and runs fantastic with next to no maintenance.  :cheers:

Any similar experiences?

Good for you! I, too, have had no problems starting up the bike after it has been stored properly.

BTW, can't see pic. Little red x
