|  Getting ready for season
I'm about to drop some money into the SV to get her in proper order, and do the regular maint that is now due. Nothing at all is wrong with her now, but I'm a big fan of staying ahead of the game. I work on all my 4 wheeled vehicles and really never take them to a shop, and I would like to be able to do the basic stuff with my bike too. I'm such a new-b when in comes to 2-wheeled transportation and I don't know if the same ideas apply to a bike that do to a cager. So I'm coming to you all for help  Oil - My buddies that ride recomend Amsoil. Is that more or less considered the way to go? Oil Filter - I run Wix in my truck, whats the brand of choice for a bike? Air Filter - I use K&N's in my cagers, not because I think they make it get noticeably better mileage, power, etc. But becuase I can clean them instead of having to keep buying new ones. Is there a better rechargeable filter or is K&N fine? Is there anything else I should check/change/replace as a preventative measure before riding season really gets into full swing? |
