I decided that the fairings needed a refresh so I got some new stickers from customgixxer.com.
I also decided to replace the radiator as my old one was stuffed with holes everywhere. This led to me noticing every bolt and nut that gets the weather being rusty so I replaced all of them. I then went over the engine and replaced or steel wooled then rust proofed them. The pair system which had been modded was rusted so I replaced it and gave the engine a massive clean.
A lot of the rubber hoses were looking hard so they got replaced too. Samco FTW. I have a BMC aircleaner so it got a clean and re-oil too. I lubed the clutch and throttle cables too. Brakes got new EBC pads and fluid and I checked the front wheel bearings too. I moved into the muff and repacked the Yoshi RS3 and managed not to wreck it although many times I thought I would. Thje frame got a clean inside and out too. Rear wheel bearings and bolts got replaced. New RK 520 chain and Talon sprockets. Finally I fully cleaned the plastics. Engine ice now fills the new rad and it sounds great. Lots of breaking in of stuff, its like a new bike.
So to those who update their bike every 2 years, and I know heaps of blokes who do, don't. This is more fulfilling and you learn a heap too.
