Just done a major service, checked all the valve clearances, spot on perfect, drained all the coolant, brake fluid, oil etc etc, replaced with quality stuff.... it's running like a weapon now, really is running quicker and smoother it's untrue... so as a summary...
Have to admit, this air filter is EPIC, its now got an induction sound like a supercharger whenever you blip the throttle... it's running so good now... well chuffed.... what ya think of the new chain and sprocket? I've got some black anodised sprocket bolts on their way as the old ones kinda spoil the effect a little...

Yeah I intend to do as much work as I can really, certainly for the maintenance side... there is a good feeling when you sit back knowing you've done all the work... saves money as well.
The only thing I'm thinking now on the bike to do is sort the front suspension as it looks a little scruffy, but thinking maybe replacing with some aftermarket ones, make it look a little more modern at the front end... not sure, but don't think I'll be doing much else to it looks wise now, it's knowing when to stop me thinks... don't want it looking messy!
