Wheel bearings, (Front) Fine.

Alternator belt. Fine.

Tappets. One was less than a thou off.

All fluids. Fine

Rear shock. OK but loosing its edge.

Front forks. Next week.

Steering head bearings/ swingarm bearings and linkage. Linkage needs grease, they don't use a lot at the factory. steering head bearings are shit ball and cup, mine are still serviceable,just, I may swap them for tapered rollers if I can be bothered, ie, probably not until they gve me shit. Swingarm bearings fine but more grease applied.

Tune. Never changed since map upgrade and TB ballance at 3000Km.

Cosmetics, (Whine away.) the finish is no longer perfect on things like the rocker cover screws. Some paintwork isn't brand new anymore on the bits I haven't had painted. Good lord! It's two years old and gets RIDDEN dather than posed with! who'da thunk it???!!!

F@cking bulletproof. Can't kill it with a shitty stick. Goes like stink and has more class than anything else available. What's not to like?

PS. This bike has had nothing 'Special' done to it. It's just been routinely serviced. In fact apart from engine oil changes it is probably under serviced and flogged mercilessly in between.
 
That’s very reassuring, well done Pete :cheer:
