Here is some interesting research on maintenance.I must admit to having experienced some of this myself.

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing.

My take on maintenance for old bikes is to tear into it when first purchased and catch everything up. It's frustrating to read so many threads from guys that don't do anything until their bike breaks down.

Very interesting article. My Dad was an aircraft mechanic during WW2. His background for the job was growing up on a farm. Maybe that's why things like this occurred!




I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
