Maintenance is easy on this bike. Change the brake and clutch fluids every 2 years and adjust the chain when needed. And the bike is a tad picky about chain adjustment.

Changing the oil and filter is so easy even Ferret can do it Smile

The big pain will be adjusting the valves. Checking them- not so bad. Adjusting—the cams have to come out.

RLETs are maintenance free.

(at least from what I can determine)

Pace yourself, now you need a 2nd one. Probably red. Big Grin

Dang. I have yet to change the clutch and brake fluids. Tongue I really suck at that bit.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to polish the balls on the ends of my clutch and brake levers. Nothing better than smooth, polished balls.
