Well it's Saturday today, the sun is shining and there are some jobs that I need to get on with, first on the list is getting the bike clean!
Along with washing the R1200RT I need to do a couple of servicing jobs, replace the front brake pads, change all 4 spark plugs (although there are only 2 cylinders there are 4 spark plugs in total) I also need to check and adjust the vlalves.
Just a mental note to myself, the bike is showing 32,500 miles on the clock, so the next service will need to be around the 38,000 mile point which for me will be within 6 months I expect.
As a bit of a reminder to myself, one of the jobs that needs to be done is the removal of the fairing. This is relativly easy to manage, with 4 torx 25 screws to be removed from the middle panel above the fuel tank. Then each side panel is held in place with a further 4 screws the first is to the side of the front speaker, with the second being the higher of the 2 on the panel side.
The final 2 are accessed from the front of the bike and on the wheel side (if you have an RT and orient yourself you will be able to see easily. I will add a couple of photo's later.
