10K Maintenance Questions

ArizonaKid said:

For those with R3GT/Rs who have changed their air filter at 10K miles - was it necessary (e.g. was it dirty enough to warrant the work and expense)? Also, I seem to remember seeing something here (pictures and such) on lubricating the rear wheel outer roller bearing, but I can't find it. Any help will be appreciated. One of the local dealers wants $700 for the 10k service and DOES NOT include lubing the roller bearing, flushing brake fluid or coolant.

Clutch fluid is also a time consuming job

Wow! How many km on that clutch fluid? That looks nasty.
My Suzuki SV used to do that with it's clutch fluid. It was shown to be a design flaw. The slave cylinder seal was drawing chain lube and muck in, each time it retracted.
