[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1467968, member: 19880"] I looked for (and couldn't discern) the silver plug in the first photo, but it is clear in the last one. Excellent suggestion on the CCT! While at 30,000 miles, it is [B]LIKELY[/B] still OK, but why take the chance. As Dan said, it makes sense to do all the general engine maintenance stuff at the same time. I would also: Flush front and rear brake circuits as well as clutch with fresh DOT4 fluid Lubricate rear brake pivot (remove and use waterproof grease) Lubricate shifter linkage and side stand Lubricate front brake lever Lubricate clutch lever - be sure to remove, clean and lube the brass bushing that pushes the piston rod. Check/clean/replace air filter Again, waterproof grease for everything. Gen I bikes have a large white connector under the tank on the right hand side that has been a source of poor running for some people. It is worth inspecting for corrosion while the tank is up.
