jimboXX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I've got my XX going in for a service mid February. Any suggestions as to what else is worth doing while it's in. It currently booked for: New CCT ordered [this will be the 2nd replacement]. Chainging plugs [irridium] New Air Filter And otherwise a standard service, oil change, oil filter etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockmeupto125 Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 This should cost between $100 and $120 USD along with a lazy evening of tinkering with your bike. All the tools you need are in your standard tool kit. (unless Northman put your filter on) Why pay someone else for easy work? :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Change the brake fluid (both brakes), clutch fluid, and definitely your fork oil. Another good thing to do is go through all the electrcial connectors with a good contact cleaner to insure their clean (I do this one a year).

Tjvulvula Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 and definitely your fork oil Should the fork seals be changed at this time as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bird Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Agree with all the above, if you haven't done so, change the coolant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Fork seals replcement: I wouldn't unless tehre is any signs of leakage. IF there is any signs then replece both. I would recommend feling the tubes to see if there are any imperfections, if so then hit it with some emery cloth or very fine sandpaper to smooth out. After rides it's a good idea to spray a little WD-40 on the tubes as well. Oil, oil filter, fork oil (use distance measure NOT quantity to ensure right amount), coolant (sicia-free shit - I like the stuff found at Honda car dealerships), air cleaner, plugs, clean electrical connectors, oil chain (should be done @500 miles) brake fluid clutch fluid, replace CCT, check chain tension... that should about do it.
