So far plugs, oil, and Engine Ice.

Tech Note: When you change your spark plugs....don't forget to put the coil packs back on! Had the air box completely back on and was lowering the tank back down when I saw them laying there.:banghead: Back off with the air box, coil packs back on, back on with the air box, tank back down.

Motul Brake fluid and Repsol Clutch fluid to go....

I'll be riding again very soon.... on my snowmobile.:whistle::laugh: Actually I am looking forward to it, I am way more agressive on the sled than I'll ever be with the bike (way more lenient laws in the snow, at least for now).

16 dollars a bottle vs 4 dollars a bottle. The clutch does basically no work compared to the front brakes so a race Dot 4 is not really required.

Can I ask why the Repsol clutch fluid? Why not use the Motul in your clutch?

I got a new easy out bit today.... :banghead: because one of the stupid screws stripped out trying to remove the cap. Had to drill it and use the easy out to back it out. So, the master cylinder got new stainless screws to replace the stockers. She's all done for now. I just need to put the cowlings back on and ride!

Be sure to use some anti seize because of the dissimilar metals :thumbsup:

Thanks this makes sense. Just thought the clutch fluid might be a better product hence the reason for using it.

How cold does the weather have to be before folk stop riding? Do you have preferred gear to keep warm?
