other maintenance when fairing off?
« on: October 09, 2012, 01:28:43 PM »
Curious as to what other maintenance I can get done or is necessary while fairings off? I'm gonna be doing the A&R light setup which means I have to remove some fairing parts. Anything else I can do while they are off the bike? I plan on running my aux. lights I ordered and thought maybe flush the radiator? Anything I'm missing? Thanks

Whatever you do, don't swap the blinkers with car blinkers, we'll never hear the end of it 8)

Install sticky traps, if you smell cooked meat then you know it's time to change traps.
