[St] Need guidance on 12K service

[<allyoop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow Triumphalists,

 

My 2000 ST is about to click over 12,000 miles, and qualify for the BIG
SERVICE. Based on time interval (every 2 years or 12K miles) I'm already way
overdue for some of these things. But my question is: what is really
necessary? I normally handle oil changes, chain lube and so on myself.

 

Here's the list:

 

1.	Check/adjust battery electrolyte level 
2.	Inspect for fuel system leaks or deterioration (replaced connectors
2 yr ago) 
3.	Renew fuel filter 
4.	Inspect cooling system 
5.	Inspect for oil leaks 
6.	Inspect throttle cable/adjust 
7.	Inspect brake pads 
8.	Check/adjust clutch cable 
9.	Renew air cleaner element 
10.	Inspect wheels for damage 
11.	Inspect tires 
12.	Change oil/oil filter 
13.	Adjust plugs 
14.	Check/adjust valve clearances 
15.	Inspect drive chain for wear and adjust 
16.	Lube drive chain 
17.	Lube rear wheel bearings 
18.	Inspect steering head bearings 
19.	Check steering operation 
20.	Inspect forks 
21.	Lube headstock bearings 
22.	Renew fork oil 
23.	Check/adjust throttle body synch 
24.	Download latest tune (has tune for off road pipe already) 
25.	Reset stepper position 
26.	Inspect all fixings/retorque as needed 
27.	Reassemble and road test 
28.	Renew all brake pressure and dust seals 
29.	Renew brake fluid 
30.	Renew coolant (changed two years ago) 
31.	Lube swinging arm bushings (3-year schedule so I'm two lubes behind)

32.	Renew all brake hoses (four year schedule) 

 

By the way, the bike runs and rides just fine right now. I put Hayabusa
calipers on the front: awesome!

 

Your advice much appreciated.
