The rear shock functioned when I bought the bike in 2015. Soon upgraded front and rear.

Suspension best bang for the buck imho.

 

Carb diaphragms and needles?

Swingarm bearings?

Wheel and bearings?

Nope. Just the head bearings

 

Clutch still OEM.

 

Its entire history is recorded in this topic.

 

From the top of my head...

 

Oem Voltage regulator replaced tens of thousand click ago. Cheapo chinese copy still going strong. Added a voltmeter to keep tabs.

 

Oil seal clutch rod

 

Exhaust collector box. I ride all year.

 

Hydraulic lines replaced for SS Hel, not because they failed. Disposable income 🙂

 

Radiator leaked at bottom left exit. Replaced with a 2nd hand one.

In recent weeks I noticed a familiar sound coming from the collector box.

Familiar, yet unwanted....

 

As it is time to fit the "winter" mufflers, a good reason to investigate the collector box and find (once more...)

🤢

And with 0°c and easterly wind...

ONE DAY,

I will buy a house with a garage and a lifting table :tongue:

His Bday is the 5th here in the Netherlands; he gives present to children on the evening of the 4th.

 

So by the time he reaches Germany,  the good toys have all been given away.....  :goofy:
