Re: Winter Maintenance List
The bike gets a good clean, ACF50 as much as i can get to without a major strip, this is topped up with a good clean and FS365 after every ride. This method has served me well for my past few bikes. I may do some deeper maintenance if the weather is too cold in Feb

Re: Winter Maintenance List
Probably the only thing for me to do during winter is to do the power for navigator as it should ie. hide it behind panels.
Perhaps use this to avoid splicing of existing wires and such.

Also, I think I will replace the existing Exide battery with AGM such as Motobatt or Yuasa. But that is just before the season starts.

Re: Winter Maintenance List
Lubricating this gear linkage is well worthwhile, after 10 years and 43K miles the cup (#2) & ball joints (#1 & #3) certainly required attention.
