what maintenance _really_ needed?
12/04/05 at 10:03:04
 
Hi,

My wife's 2001 has 4950 miles on it. It's had regular oil changes but I don't think anything else besides that.

What maintenance does the bike REALLY need at this age/miles? I know for cars many things don't really need to be changed, certainly at the interval specified, so just wanted to know for the bike.

Thanks in advance,
Derek

give a good look at the front brake pads, airfilter, might not be a bad idea to round up another sparkplug

The book says you should re-torque the head bolts.
