Winter fiddle

[Guest gavin]

Hi all,

 

I'm just about to put my V11 Sport into my workshop for a couple of weeks of fiddlig & tweaking (stops me being tempted to ride it on our salt covered roads!!! - I sure envy you guys in warmer climes than the UK). I'm going to look in detail at everything related to handling as I feel it has 'gone off' a bit so the questions are:

 

Fork oil - how much & what type?

Head bearings - anything out of the ordinary to know?

Swing arm shaft - Ditto

Rear shock - Ditto.

Fuel & air filters - should these be changed? (Ok so I'm going to fiddle with everything!!)

Which relays should I change? Nothing wrong so far - I think.

 

The chassis and all its ancillaries, g/box & bevel box has done 12,000 miles and the engine unit has done 4,000 miles (replaced under warranty as the first one threw a conrod).

 

As this is my first Guzzi any suggestions as to what to tweak/check would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
