10,000 km service
Okay, It's taken two years to clock up 10,000 km on my XTR. She's running great after the application of the Stage 1&2 DNA filters and Kev's fuel mod and O2 controller.
I changed oil and oil filter myself at 5,000 km and it's an easy job so I could do that myself again - but what else should I be doing on this milestone service? The maintenance schedule in the manual is pretty vague with check this/check that. 1. Would you guys suggest checking/adjusting valves? (manual says do that at 20,000 but that could be another 2 years away). 2. Is it worth flushing/changing brake fluid? (manual just says nothing about changing fluid only check) 3. What about steering head bearings? Wheel bearings? Swing arm linkage bearings? It's a pretty big job to dismantle just to check so is it okay to just rely on testing for free play? Free play seems fine for now. 4. Coolant change? Still looks clean and at correct level. Anything else? I will replace the cush rubbers coz they are shagged - but if there is substantial work to be done I rather just take it in to the dealer because of my lack of skills and time. My only concern is that the dealer will do a rush job and not do things properly because when I first picked up the bike, the chain was tight as a drum, and if they can't get that right then how can I trust them with the internals... Dilemma!! |
