I removed the dust cover today, and started winter maintenance:
Added stabilizer to a full tank of gas.
Oil and filter changed.
Cleaned and waxed the chain.
Tomorrow the battery will be removed and set on a warm shelf in the basement.
At 40F degrees it’s too cold to give Miss Piggy a bath.
But I may try to polish the dried bugs off the headers.
Everything else will have to wait until spring.
Bought the 2017 Edition of the Honda Service Manual.
So lots of reading to do over the winter before I tackle anything else.
At my age I would have preferred not to do the maintenance.
But I have not been impressed with my Dealer’s Service Department.
As my dad used to say, “If you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself.”
