NIce ride.

I just bought a 2019 1000abs with 13k miles on it. Can I expect any major repairs soon? Have u had to get anything major done? like fork seals or anything? I’m hoping if I just get the oil changes on time, it will last awhile
@NooBiker 19 күн бұрын
Hi George, thanks for the question. I had the fork oil changed last year just because I thought it needed doing given age and mileage. No issues with seals etc. I usually do my own oil, filter and brake fluid changes and am fairly fastidious about having the regular servicing done at my local dealer (air filter, spark plugs etc) The issues I have had have been covered in other videos: 1. Sub-frame bolts got loose and/or snapped, possibly due to me using a top box. Seems to be a common issue from the forums / FB groups. Check your subframe is firmly attached regularly. I now tend to avoid using a top box (especially for long trips) and have switched to panniers 2. Corrosion of the evap pipe in the tank, causing fuel to leak. New tank required. A second hand one (£100) was found and fitted. A good thing too since a fall had dented the old tank (always look on the positive side) 3. Valve clearance checks done at 24,600 miles (a little earlier than recommended due to going on a 2k mile tour) and 10 valves needed shimming (all 8 exhaust valves and 2 intakes) Not an issue, but I had the rear shock spring uprated after taking it to a suspension expert. Gives more preload adjustment for when my daughter wants to ride pillion. That's it. I'm not sure if that's a lot or just par for the course with a bike that is now 6 years old and done 26,800 miles. Best of luck with your bike. My one is a 2018 model that I bought in 2020 and it had done under 2k miles then, so I've added a good 24k miles in that time.
