Major Service Time - Falcon 269 - 05-06-13

Eleven years and 50k miles means time for a major service.  Soup Dragon is away for a week so no time interference from management. Wink

Loving the bike lift.  R6 shock replaced by Ohlins which had been away for new spring and refresh.  Fork oil changed, valve clearances done and all the other major service interval items. 

Cleaned and polished, ready for another 50k miles. Smile

She does scrub up well. Smile

Seat is from CM Seats.  Not cheap but the best I've had on the bike over the years.

On a car forum I frequent, some stupid berk said they would never buy a car off an enthusiast who has taken it apart countless times.
I know if Mike ever sold that bike there would be queue!!

Re: Major Service Time - Falcon 269 - 06-06-13

When I had my first bike at 16 years of age ... back when God were a lad and beer cost a penny a pint ... the joke in our family was I used to take it apart to find out why it was still working :lol

I think I'm a bit better these days.  Checking my records, it's been almost three years since I did an end-to-end overhaul in one go.  Usually it's routine preventative stuff, ongoing so it's never really more than an hour or two at a time.

As for the queue, don't waste your time hoping - this one's the keeper of all keepers. Smile

Re: Major Service Time - pitternator - 12-06-13

Hi mike
Have you repainted your engine?...it looks in superb condition for 50k road miles ...or have you a wonder cleaner ?

Bike sure is a credit , I remember you coming to BOTW back round 2002 on it .... Smile

Re: Major Service Time - Falcon 269 - 12-06-13

All original paint, Jon.  That's what you get for taking the bike away from the UK's nasty wet, salty roads nearly 10 years ago. Smile

Though not really noticeable, there's some bubbling on the cam cover but that's all.  I'll get around to it next 50k service ... Wink



Re: Major Service Time - Thai Mc Tours - 17-06-13

Looking good!
My old 2004 model's coming up for 100,000Km service, don't suppose you have a list/link to what needs doing please? We have only two Yam main dealers here in Thailand, Bkk & Chiang Mai (Cnx), Cnx did the 60,000km service for me 2yrs ago. Since then their lead foreman's left, returned with the bike last Xmas and told them to get on with the 100k one?
We live 700Km away from Cnx but commute regularly, popping back every month & another new excuse, obviously hadn't even started the job, sitting in the corner gathering dust! Lost my rag in April, dragged her back here to Udon Thani & went to Kawasaki a fortnight ago. Gave them the details, miladdo behind the desk says sure, no problem. Just had a call from them "We're unable to service Yamaha's, Kwak's only"???!!
Looks like I'll be getting my hands dirty after all  :lol
