With snow putting an end to my riding for a while, I wanted to go through the 12 Blue and fix everything that might need looked at before a trip to Tuk.
With 185,300 + miles on it ,It is still up to any big trip I would want to try.
I pulled off the top cover and adjusted the valves, It has been about 75,000 miles since I've had the cover off.
All 4 exhaust valves were on the tight side of the spec. and one intake was on the tight edge of the spec.
I put on the new recall harness while I was there.
New plugs, and an air filter. I had to order a cover gasket, It just wasn't that great anymore.
I ordered new clutch plates and throttle cables.
I took apart the starter motor to see what it looked like.
Everything looks like new in there.
I don't see any carbon build up , I have never ever added any thing to the fuel.
Starter looked fine but there doesn't appear to be any were limit line on the brushes.
Now I just need to hook up with some North bound riders.
