984 mile service

[whatever]

dropped the oil and filter tonight for the second time... so now i can see what the bike has for full power...... oil was alittle dirty not as bad when i changed the oil and filter the 1st time at 385 miles.

the manual came today here's couple things that were not up to tq spec so far. did not pull the farings to get to the motor mounts yet but heres what i found..... alittle loose if any body wants to check.

steering stem 76 ft lbs
left side muffler bolt 14 ft lbs
footrest assembly left and right mid size allen bolts 3 out 6 needed work 21 ft lbs their"s only 3 on each side.
upper handlebar allen bolts 17 ft lbs

rest of the stuff that i checked so far was fine.

 

[whatever]

boy good thing i purchased a shop manual
and checked the specs... im almost done did not pull the side farings yet.. I. want to save some energy thinking about riding out to the casino tonight.....shoot some crap best house game there is.

anyways heres what i found out today

swingarm pivot bolt was fine 79 ft
rear axle was fine so was the front axle
only was able to check one front motor mount on the right side it was fine... no faring removalbe to see it.

heres what was loose

the 2 rear engine motor mount bolts 40 ft lbs
exhaust flange nuts 3 out of 8 needed help 14 lbs


all triple tree bolts that hold the forks were fine

still need to check the rear shock... and check behind side farings. when i get a chance.
front motor mount bolts etc.


the thottle cable at the handlebar was 4mm play so that was fine....... so thats why did not remove the side farnigs for now.

never hurts to get a little more familiar with your bike.
something as simple as a 'bolt check' can allow you find something early, and create a reference for something that appears unsual in the future.

btw, craps sounds good about now, i went last weekend. trying to restrain myself better than i did last year. so far so good!

yes craps is alot of fun.... i play 6 and 8 go up 2 units and pull down....works out good sometimes and i get free meal comps.

yes when you tq everything you can really tell the differents...the bike will ride tighter.
