Question/s on maintenance. A 2006 S-40, 5,500 miles. A PO, (About a year) Young girl, drive city, nicely, for about a year, and about 1-1200 miles. She changed oil twice, (when she got it, and last fall)., and her husband put in front pads this spring. I bought it this spring, (3 + weeks ago) It starts right up, ran it no load, heated it up, changed oil. Then ran it about 50 miles, changed oil & filter. Changed petcock, added Fuel filter, added air to what I believe are original tires, (Needed it), and a few cosmetic changes. Checked battery, not ’new’, but a sealed one, (no date) but it checked out fine.
Know I am going to change out tires. Know I am going to check valves. Chasing the, “Stop, Loud Backfire”.
Do you think, Do I need to check the cam chain, or the C.C. Tightener yet? (No Noises to indicate it)
Don’t know, but just guessing the PO, to the PO, did not do much, but add/change oil, (now and then)
Thanks for your thoughts.
