Hi folks,
Looking for some assistance in confirming if I'm on the right track in collecting parts ready for the next/future services.
Thus far I have a couple of Champion COF203 oil filters, Castrol Power 1 Racing fully synthetic 10W/40 and (I think) the correct Comma lithium based multi-purpose grease for steering head, suspension linkage, swing arm bearings etc. I also plan on changing to braided brake hoses so have some Halfords DOT 4 brake fluid on standby.
Other parts I am going to get are NGK CR9EIX iridium spark plugs and engine coolant (ethylene glycol based with corrosion inhibitors for aluminium engines). I'm not planning on getting any aerosol cable lubricant as I'm think of just using some of the above mentioned engine oil as recommended in the Yamaha manual.
Anything I've missed? Also I'm struggling to find somewhere that sells the correct coolant.
Sorry if I seem a little 'asky', this is my first time of servicing my own bike and I want to get it right.
