10,000 mile maintenance
Hey all, just getting close to the 10,000 mile mark on Chang (my RX3), be a year in Feb since i got him. Been truly a trouble free run thus far. Only things that went wrong on my bike is the mechanic (me!). Been able to get thru it all with the help of CSC (Gerry's the man), this forum, fellow owners, etc. I've been thru the manual and follow the maint to the letter. Just curious with the 10,000 mile mark coming up if ya'll got some opinions on what needs to be looked at or done. Thanks!!!

Joe,
Thanks for putting all that info in one place. Excellent info, although I'm not quite ready to wait 5,000 miles on the valve clearance check. I've saved the list, and will print it out to post in my workshop. jb
