Default Spring Maintenance

Going through the bike today, starting to get it ready for the season. Motor will need to be rebuilt or replaced at some point. It will still work for now. Anyway, got an oil change done. Still have more to do tomorrow.

BUT - I started to do a retorque (going through the nuts/bolts on the bike). Well, pipe was loose. At the rear flange and at the header bolts. The header bolts, well that is to be expected. Man, that rear section, too loose for comfort. Glad that it didn't rattle loose and have the can fall off.

Anyway, will be doing more tomorrow.

DOUBLECHECK ALL OF YOUR BOLTS!!!!!!
