Out of the garage....

Right then, by the end of Feb I hope to have my scooter back together ready for the first round of Straightliners in March. I havent used it since October now so its gonna be an arse to start! But aside from that just want to check what needs doing.

Just got a new battery, so old ones getting chucked.
Will be draining and chucking the bit of petrol that is in the tank and replcang with new stuff.
Gearbox oil is about 8 months old so is getting changed.
Having brakes bled, new calipers, pads and discs fitted. Brakes haven't been bled/fluid replaced for 12 months now and pads/discs/calipers are in need of replacing.
Clean air filter
New plug

What else have i forgotten?

Cheers

Dave

Hi

Adjust the clutch and oil the chain .

Seriously I assume it has some kind of belt drive to the rear wheel. I would be tempted to check this for wear / damage if it has been somewhat tuned.

All the best

Good point about the tyres, will pump them up as I always overlook them! Tyres have done a few hundred miles tops as has the belt and rollers as I have hardly used it on the road since its last re-build.

You can race any bikes at the straightliners rounds. I wouldn't expect an amazing time from a speedfight but its always cool to do it once and see what real terminal speed you can get compared to what your speedo tells you!
