Default Riding Season Maintenance

Just Wondering what you guys do to get ready for the busy part of the riding season. I change all fluids, check the belt, adjust the dif lock, and check CV boots. Anything else I might be missing?

i also make sure ALL bolts and clamps are tight, put dielectic grease on EVERY electrical connection including the spark plug boots. Take rad out and give er a good cleaning, clean exhaust arrestor, check and adjust valve clearences and last but not least a very thorough cleaning. Oh ya also make sure you have all emergency supplies on board ie: exttra fuses, duct tape, spare plugs etc etc etc.

Great Tips! I have been needing to adjust my valves for a while but haven't yet - thanks for reminding me.

I just changed my plugs, my oil, my diff oils, checked my belt, flushed my radiator, lubed my cables, sprayed all moving and pivot points with metal protector, retorqued my lug nuts, cleaned my air filter, replaced the battery, added a can of seafoam, and cleaned the whole machine. And my friends call me a freak[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I think the hardest part about adjusting the valves on the 360 is getting to them. By the way what is seafoam? Is it like fix'a'flat or slime?
