I am waiting on my service manual to arrive so that I can check
my valve clearances. Has anyone done this themselves and if so
do you have any suggestions or experiences with this. I have
opted out of having the dealer do this since they are backed up
and I have already exceeded the 600 mi.
Currently I have:
1. Cleaned and lubed the chain.
2. Tightened bolts, the only ones I found needed to be
tightened where some of the frame bolts and the lower
oil pan bolts.
3. Changed the oil and filter.
4. Added a slight amount of distilled water to outside
battery cells.
Oh yeah, I am enjoying my bike even more now that I can twist
up to 8000rpm now.
