Service on new bike.
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2007 1:39 pm
Hello, everyone.
I recently bought a ZXR400 L9. It has less than 8000 miles but no service history.
It sounds ok, was very dirty (1cm of grease inside the fairing). I have so far been very busy cleaning and servicing.
- The battery is OK, the tyres are fine.
- I have changed the oil and spark plugs.
- I am stripping the front calipers (as the brakes were not that good). I will replace the dust seals, pads and fluid.
- The chain definitely needs adjusting.
- I also need to sort out the air filter.
Do I need to check/service anything else on my bike? I would like to have it running nicely ready for the spring.
