The fun has begun (JOG installed 5/2)

[minst7877]

Well I finally jumped into the fire and stared the maintenance that I wanted to do this winter. So far I have been pleasantly surprised at how well things are going. I had the bike on the lift table and put my jack adapter on the bike and put a table jack under the frame to stabilize the bike and get the pressure off the rear wheel.

Today 2/28 I did this
Pulled the bags and bag brackets.
Removed both mufflers and rear head pipe.
Removed rear brake and pulled rear wheel. New tire to install
Drained and removed final drive. will flush and refill with syn oil
Removed swingarm and drive shaft.

Bike had 23000+ miles on it when we bought it last year and from what I am seeing so far someone has taken pretty good care of her.
Surprised to find that the grease on the swingarm bolt and spacers wasn't completely dead and lots of grease in the drive-shaft splines.
U-joint could use a little work as one axis is a little stiff.
Time spent today 2 hours.
