Re: Service Intervals

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Josh: Follow the owners manual. It calls for 6K intervals. Minor 
services are at the 6k intervals, major services are12k intervals. 
Only thing I do differently is change oil more frequently 2-2500 mile 
intervals, and brake fluid annually. I also keep on top of the little 
stuff, fluid levels, tire pressures, brake pad thickness, chain, 
cables, etc. My feeling is that a well maintained bike will first, 
always be at 100% for safety and secondly never ( hopefully) leave me 
by the side of the road, because of something I should have caught at 
home. As an aside I bought a good tire repair kit last year to keep 
under the seat ( co2 cartridges, etc) hate to get a flat and have to 
walk!
