Last fill up of 2024. It’s December and the temperature is around 3C. The roads are wet and dark. After this fill up I went an additional 120km of mainly riding to T’s and back. I’m afraid of black ice as the sun sets at 4:15pm now. The dark time are here. I’m sad, but not as sad as last few years at this time. I’m looking forward to winter maintenance. I have to check the wiring harness for shorts. True the rear wheel and replace its bearings. Clean out the air box and put it back together. It has a lot of grime and sand in there. Replace the head cover gasket and check the valves while there. The petcock is leaky and probably needs to be replaced. New orings didn’t help. Rear fender cracks need to be welded together with lead. New #120 main jets will need to be installed. Air filters washed again. Tank needs another cleaning, but I don’t think I can do a better job than last time. Tank needs trueing an touch up. Front breaks need to be rebuilt. General observation; the pipes don’t have buffers and they sound great, but they are too loud and it’s annoying. I will never modify the sock exhaust.
