Welcome to another Swede !Did you pay the equivalent of2000 dollars ($)or pound (£) ? In case its 2000 dollars it appears to be very cheap, 2000 pound would be on the high side.

 

hey billy boots, welcome to the forum, well spotted :-)

{guys - was there not something about a surcharge for the scandinavian, swedish, norwegian,danish mob?}

 

Hello,and welcome to the forum.

You could consider checking the valve clearances and replace the coolant if you are doing a full service.

 

And syncronize the carbs isn´t a bad idea either...

BTW! Welcome to another Viking! We are growing in numbers here...!

 

If the frontfork hasn't been opened, cleaned and got new oil for several years, that should beconsidered now. The fork seals are cheap, so they should be replacedany timethe fork is maintained. To avoid fork bottoming, the fork oil level could be raised to, which is covered in other threads in this forum.

It could also be a good idea to check the free sag and rider sag since thisis important for good chassie performance. The bike may have been set up for a heavier or lighter rider than you, which is no good. See http://www.sportrider.com/tech/suspension/
