Nov 14 2020

At 32,120 changed coolant and refilled while checking and adjusting valve clearances. All clearances within spec but tight end, adjusted to loose end (0.008 and 0.012) instead of 'optimal' (0.007 and 0.011). Coolant and valve clearances fine at every 16,000 miles instead of shorter recommended interval. Air filter replaced but really not that dirty and no notable effect on performance yet, increase to every 20K. Ridden some and then oil and filter changed, schedule to do both every 10K (filter isn't expensive or difficult to do so no reason for oil only).

Replaced rear tire February 2019, front tire April 17. Odometer 28593 front tire replaced Continental TKC80 120/70. Rear odometer >27547 Metzler Tourance 150/70. Front tire Contimotion (head shake) lasted 16,000 miles. Rear Shinko 705 lasted a long time, went 12,000. No traction left when replaced. Compound too hard not great wet traction. Tourance is the 5th rear tire on the bike, TKC80 is 3rd front tire.

Removed radiator, flushed cooling system as best as possible. Refilled more than 50% coolant, specs indicated much higher capacity than actual, probably includes reservoir. Checked all valves, none needed adjusting and didn't want to mess with it. Could easily do 10,000 mile services.

19000 miles changed oil only, same purolater filter. Rotella T6 full synthetic 5w-40. Filter is still purolator - PL14612 is an exact match for the NC700, the PL14610 is longer and what I'm using.

Checked valve clearance, mostly good, only slight adjustment. Very quick this time. Could go longer.
