I promised myself I would do a yearly report. Here is the 3rd edition.
The dl1000 just keeps on going, by far the best bike I have owned. It has the hiccup at 2-3k but I live with it, and it doesn't bother me cause I keep it above 3k most of the time. Apart from that , I just change oil and feed it new tyres and brakes. Its getting worst as far as 1st to second goes and it jumps out a bit , particularity when you have a quick fang off the lights but its only a 1 in 5. If I pre-load the shifter its a little better. Its no biggie though.I think it may be my boots wearing in the shifter region.
I changed gear lever positions and I thought I had it fixed, but alas it returned.
It's now done about 60k, and I am certain I got a good one.
This year spend list was new, oil, tyres, brakes, air filter, and fork oil.
Its due for valves , but I want to learn myself so will get to it one day.
Well catch ya next year.
Cheers
Mike
