Right guys, as my bike has now come up to 28k, decided I'm going to give it a full service. Got a list together, but was wondering if there was anything else that would likely need checking that isn't in the Hayes manual, or that should probably be done anyway?
Right, here goes:
-Strip and clean calipers, check pads, replace brake fluid and brake hoses for braided. Check the brake system as a whole, and the operation of the - brake lights.
-Check and regrease swingarm, suspension, wheel and steering bearings
-Check and lubricate clutch/gearshift/brake lever/brake peadl/sidestand/centrestand pivots and throttle/choke/clutch cables
-Check all electrical connections and clean with contact spray
-As I've still got my strange low down running symtoms (cutting out on cylinders beneath 5k ish revs), going to take the carbs apart and clean them up
-Check the fuel system and hoses
-Drain, flush, and replace the coolant
-Clutch is making quite a noise at the moment, heard of grumbly clutches before but mine is properly rattly, so going to be checking that as well
-Engine oil and filter change
-Clean and reoil air filter
-Change spark plugs and compression test
-Check CCT
-Carb balance and idle speed check
-Once I've done all that lot, I'm hoping that whatever is causing my strange low down running will stop. That said, probably going to go ahead and check the valve clearances anyway, just in case my bike is the one Fazer 6 that does need doing!
So, what have I missed?!
