Hey all,
Anyone have a summary on what should be done monthly / yearly / by mileage? I'm pretty familiar with what to do and how often on my car but not much of an idea on a motorcycle.
Additionally, my friend rode my bike a month or so ago and informed me that I need new front brake pads -- hadn't noticed until I heard them squeaking slightly but apparently they should be stronger. We also think that with the clutch fully squeezed in, it still rubs slightly. It's almost impossible to get to neutral while the engine is running but other than that it doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there a typical way to adjust it?
The bike is an 03 SV650 as in the title with almost 10k miles on it. Am I coming up to any 10k mile or 10 year maintenance items?
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
