Good thought. I've been thinking so as well. But also that since I've never really used the bike I wanted to wait until next season to get to know the bike first by riding it more, and make all bigger changes next winter. I just wanted to fix necessary things this winter.
But as you say, it's 5 month left... and I need something to do.
maybe I will get bored when the bike has been polished and it's still 3 month left...
So far I've:
-fixed leaking petcocks
-fixed leaking float bowl
-changed to new air filters
-repaired/modified shock absorbers
-changed handlebars (tomaselli clubman, had old one laying around)
-inspected/adjusted clutch
-inspected/adjustedchain guide tensioner
More to do
-change oil, check oil filter and sump filter
-fix bad threads on welded shock absorber bolts
-go through the electrical connections
-fix seat (rust, paint, new damping material)
-drill holes in brake plates for my small mc-locker
-maybe change brake fluid (looks transparent and good though)
-maybe change fork fluid
-next winter fix starter (it spins but does not engage engine)
-fix small leak (when running) in front lower engine cover (crank case?)
The engine runs smooth on accelerating, but backfires some when engine braking, so this is also a thing I will try to fix during next driving season. Can be a lot of things. Since I have these Dunstall copy mufflers, this can be the reason. But also air leak, carbs, etc.
