Annual Maintenance Complete (Whew!)

It feels good when all the maintenance on the motorcycles is up to date.

I just completed a round of maintenance on the KLR650 and the ST1100. Here is what I did.

KLR650

• fork oil
• flush front and rear brake fluid
• flush and fill radiator
• motor oil and filter
• clean foam air filter and re-oil
• new spark plug
• sonic wash and completely overhaul the carburetor
• remove coolant overflow tank, clean and refill

(and that's besides doing the doohickey inside the engine and installing
grease nipples on the rear suspension)



ST1100

• fork oil
• replace blown headlight bulb
• flush and fill radiator
• remove, clean, and refill coolant overflow bottle
• flush front and rear brake lines with new fluid
  
• replace differential fluid
• clean and re-grease speedometer cable core
• flush clutch line with new fluid
• engine oil and filter
• carburetor synchronization
• valve clearance check
  
• (plugs, filters, clutch, timing belt, and water pump were new last year)

I also did some maintenance on Jane's Yamaha XT225

• flush front brake line with new fluid
• engine oil and filter
• Clean and re-oil air filter
• Apply grease to all the rear suspension grease fittings
• replace leaking base gasket between cylinder and engine block
  

We should be ready for our excursion to James Bay in Northern Quebec in a week.
