Shortly i am approaching the 10,000 mile mark. I bought it at 6,7000 and don't think the previous owner did any maintenance besides an oil change.
After looking through the Yamaha owners manual that i downloaded, i have this laundry list of chores to do... (Want this bike to remain in great condition)
-Change spark plugs (I have been noticing quite a bit of backfiring as of lately)
-Adjust the clutch to engage at a point closer to the grip
-Possibly replace brake pads (Starting to hear some squeaking)
-Check chain play, has been over 2,000 miles since i have
-Lube steering bearings
-Tighten chasis bolts, screws, nuts
-Lube center stand (also squeaking)
-Adjust engine idle i believe (Lights dim when down at an idle, should i increase idle speed?)
-Change oil again, have a little over 2000 miles on this cycle
-Change coolant
-Lubricate brake and clutch cables
-Adjust throttle and lubricate cable (starting to feel sticky! DOH!)
How does this list look?
Is there anything i should add to my list?
Thank you much!
