749 Home Servicing

I change the antifreeze every two years on my bikes

 

Remove and regrease rear suspension links. Free off adjuster rod ends (top one can seize due to water ingress down the threads) and reinstall with copaslip
Remove, regrease and reset fork head bearings

 

Fuel filter.

 

I use that white automotive/marine grease. Got a tub from eBay.

 

I have always used Castrol LM general purpose grease.

 

The inexpensive fuel pump and injector relay that lives near the battery box. Only costs a few quid to replace, and is the cause of many problems which these bikes seem to suffer with. If you have the fairing panels off only takes minutes to fit. Money well spent imo.

 

Did you do the fork oil when you did the seals?

 

Might be worth checking quick release fuel line connectors on rear of tank...I had two slightly distort within twelve months of each other spewing fuel everywhere,including going into red gate at donington park lol...easy to change

 

Get two fuel pump O rings..

 

Using Shell advance ultra 15W-50 for mine,but check with others first what they use

 

Motul 7100 15/50 as @nelly said it was what he used.

 

How much do you want to spend ? Motul 300v is a double ester fully synthetic oil which I use in my 1098R track bike and my V4 but it is eye wateringly expensive. Motul 7100 is still fully synthetic and gets put in my Multistrada, my girlfriend’s Diavel and her NC29 400RR track bike and is cheaper. To be fair, most major brand and some own brand oils will do the job if they conform to the right specification. Opie Oils is a good place to look at what’s available. Andy

 

300V on eBay £48.95 (buy 2 get 5% off) with Opie Oils, you might get cheaper if you go direct...

 

I use 300v, expensive but cheaper than engine wear.

(if it's the first change then that's what was in it - green stuff)
