  • am i missing anything

    I have been on the path of going over the bike to make sure its safe. This is what I have done.
    1. Changed front and rear tires
    2. Cleaned, lubed and adjusted chain
    3. Removed electrical tape that was used to adjust the clutch cable
    4. Adjusted clutch correctly
    5. Checked brakes.
    6. Changed headlight
    7. Adjusted headlight.(it was pointing at the ground)
    8. Replaced all reused cotter pins
    9 checked suspension (visually it looked ok?)
    10. Tightened loose bolts,screwsand nuts.
    11. Changed oil
    Is there anything i am missing that I should check? When I was putting the fairings back on I plugged the turn signal in and when I tried it , it did not blink. ThenI noticed there was another set of wires and they where the right ones. So whats the other 2 wires for? I was able to download a picture from my phone for the avatar. Looking forward to this winter the kat could use a paint job! Looks good from a distance if you like gold lol.

    I would suggest you download the manual, check out the "service limits" for all maintenance items, and do them all now (as pretty much most everything is probably past limits, and who knows what the PO did.)

    Things to consider... replace brake fluids and lines and valve adjustments for example.

        Provided you're talking about the pair of wires by the right side of the headlight, those are accessory power for whatever you want to use them for.
