Wow, you’re certainly going to town, maintenance extreme, excellent. 50 quid for 20 litres, I’ve just paid that for 5 litres of fully synth. I know using fully synth is considered over the top, but after switching to it at around 12k miles, after reading an article posted by Falcon, I’ve stuck with fully synth, although Motul, which I use, is one of the more expensive brands.
I’ve just changed the brake fluid front and back, as my final pre season maintenance. The rear brake is the best I’ve had on any bike, but for some reason, no doubt the tortuous route of the hose, always gives me grief getting it bled properly. Had to resort to removing the torque arm and threading the calliper through the wheel, in order to get it higher than the master cylinder. Always works, but a chore I could have done without. Some new nipple dust caps should arrive today, as the Hel ones haven’t lasted very well, and that should be about it until the front tyre will want changing after my Le Mans trip next month. Good luck with your project, Spring is just around the corner :thumbup
