Hi
I have a Fazer Thou with just shy of 31K on the clock. ive always looked after my bikes by keeping on top of the servicing. my annual mileage is 5.5 - 7K a year
Swing arm / shock - remove once a year, full clean and regrease
Oil / filter - changed every 3.5 - 4K
brakes - clean, pistions red rubber greased twice a year.
Exup - stripped, copper greased at least twice a year (after it seized the first time & i had to drill it!)
and so on........
BUT...my fazer is no longer my number one bike. Im now only doing 1.5 - 2.5K a year and dont have the time or money to spend keeping my bike mint.
Just got me thinking what other peeps service schedules are? with my new low mileage would you still drop and the oil and filter once a year? my biggest fear is the EXUP seizing again. :'(
Also...are the checks im supposed to do on the cam chain tensioner, too make sure it moves freely? never done anything to a Cam Chain Tensioner ever :o
