glad you like it. Try a Throttle body sync, rear spline lube, rear drive oil change too. I found that easy money.

I assume it was your first time doing the maint. How long would you guestimate it all took? Honest answer please

spark plugs were the easy part about 4 hours total, now the coolant was way longer do to the cool down and flushing and so on, first thing is you dont need to take all the plastic off like I did, wont do that next time, total time for coolant change was about 6 hours , about 3 hours 2 days running, really a lot of waitng around for cool downs,save much bucks doing it my self, but you need some mechanical skills.always have done most of my own maintaince, unless its way to technical,would love to lube swing arm pivot, but that looks over my head,I have a 6 year warranty and dont want to screww anything up, I gave my dealer a lot of greif over thier unskilled techs and repair work, SO they will be happy to void my warranty for the slightest infraction

I did a spark plug change for the first time by myself two weekends ago. Took the tank off and everything. Two hours or less, including set up and put away.

plugs: hope ya'll used "never seize" on the threads and silicone (dielectric) grease on the inside of the boots

hightly desirable insurance for next time, but not required
