[QUOTE="john_bilbrey, post: 718867, member: 40519"] Tranny oil: I have 100 miles on my bike, and I'm going to change it Friday and see what shakes out. A magnetic drain plug would be a good idea. Make sure you warm the bike up a little before changing. Brake fluid: make sure the rubber deal inside isn't fouled up somehow and seats good. Grease: swingarm, linkage, steering head. Take apart and grease all of these girls before many miles. The factory seems to think that too much grease (or even an adequate amount) is not important. Filter: after you toss the snorkel and lid, go ahead and reoil the filter. Mine looked like they had just hit the high-spots (not to mention that they forgot to tighten the nut that holds it on.... :( Premix: Bel Ray H1R @ 40:1 after the first tank of 32:1 for break in. Why 40:1? 32:1 yields excessive spooge, and the H1R is full synthetic. They recommend 50 or 60:1, but not me. It's a good midpoint. Chain: see above. As far as oils go...I like the Bel Ray stuff. It's a little higher than most, but a few bucks here and there is a good investment and cheap insurance. [/QUOTE]
