sredish Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 During the race season, I check my lug nuts, hub nuts, air pressure, case oil, coolant, air filter, grease the fittings, lube my chain and check for proper adjustment BEFORE I ride. Then, AFTER I ride, I'll take a good look for any leaks and then I'll give the whole machine a good wash with the seat off. I have a sealed airbox lid for washing, and I keep it on until I ride or need to start the motor up. Back at the shop, I'll check for wheel bearing play, axle play, hub nuts, and case oil. I'll also give the whole machine a good hard look over and poke around looking for loose things and compress the suspension some listening for weird noises. I'll relube the chain, just a little to keep from building rust after the wash. Once that's all done, I'll cover her up with my magic beauty blanket, hoping all the billet will be polished when I uncover her again... I should probably do more after the ride but I really don't. And I don't spend a whole lot of time doing the above. I do just enough. She doesn't complain either, only when we're done riding... she wants to keep going. Quote
