Am doing my 10k service this weekend

[Protonhound]

Are you taking any pic's as you go? Post 'em up if you are. TIA

I have taken a few but am following pics that has been posted here alreeady by @Journeyman and others in addition to a couple of yt vids. I will post anything that might be useful other than "oh look, here is my bike with the tank off".

The angle of the upright on big blue provides more than enough space for access on the right side. Yes it's more than absolutely necessary but I like it

I almost bought this lift two years ago.


The blue post is still in the way—you can't get close enough to the bike on that side while working. Looks like there is distance of few inches between exhaust and blue post which means either raising the bike to do one part of the job and lowering it to do the other, or taking the bike down completely and moving the lift to the other side.


For any high-torque work, check out how much the lift wobbles at the timestamp in this video:

Also, personally, I don't feel comfortable lifting the bike that high off the ground just to get clearance access for working around area where blue post is not the way and then it wobbles that much, which is why I ended up going with a center jack stand instead.

It suits my situation just fine considering I have no room for a table. Once you put the bike on the thing there is more than enough room to get to the right side and I don't use it unless I need to.

I found some slighlty gelled fuel remnants in the intake chamber and am thinking that's probably normal after all these miles.

10k mile service - DIY (also, Spark Plugs Not Tight & Wire Boots Not Pushed On!)

Sharing my experience here changing the air and fuel filter and inspecting the spark plugs. Refer to the manual for the basics, but here are things that may help, along with some very surprising discoveries I made... 1) Removing the tank There are three things to disconnect besides the bolt...

I believe that’s oil from the crankcase vent. There is a clear rubber bulb at the far bottom right that could have more.

One more good reason to do your own work. The dealer isn’t likely to clean that up like you will

I wiped it out but since I already put that side back together I'll look for that bulb at 20k. It did smell like fuel though and I'm using Motul 7100 oil which is red.

My chok, stool, umbrella and dog is mostly all I need.

A good IPA would go well with that setup
