Good morning red, I made a start on tidying up, service and a bit of polish. So far, I've snapped a manifold students, drained the oil and removed the front fairing and headlamp. The wife said to me yesterday "why are you doing that now, you're not going out on it until the early spring ".
Foolish woman, I'm starting all this now to make sure it's good to go as soon as the weather is better.

Yep, did a major winter service, consisting of ACF treatment and...........ummm..........er.......
Well ok, I might adjust the chain soon
Re: winter maintenance - Dead Eye - 21-12-14
Had an ACF treatment done at the beginning of Autumn along with an Oil change. I need to keep on top of chain maintenance, give it a clean (just water) and possibly begin thinking about the cam chain. Oh and I really need to service the EXUP valve
