Long...multi-part post....

I know that I am a about 1000 miles early for the 16K service, but I thought that with the winter season coming to a close, it was an ideal time to put the Feej in the shop and give the whole once over. Here is a synopsis if what was done. Note that I was amazed to see the build-up of dirt in some areas, and have a better appreciation for the maintenance requirement of our machine. I had to have this done in a shop, as my current situation does not allow me the luxury of a garage, or even reasonable place to work, much less tools…

Pictures to follow, although I have learned from previous long posts not to put them all in one post, so I will split into 4 posts…
