I used to maintain my motorcycles in the end of April. So I did this year.
The first was “Eight Ball” maintenance. Usually it includes carburettors cleaning, air filter cleaning/oiling, fuel filter change and so on and so forth.
But as in the end of last year I noticed oil sweating through valve cover gasket, I ordered new OEM gasket and set of rubbers for valve cover bolts.
As you may see, old rubbers were quite flattened by time and usage.
So I repacked the whole lot of those rubbers.
I also checked valve clearance by the way and cam chain tension, as I was forced to convert original cam tensioner into manual when used Diversion 600 cylinders in XJ600 51J engine.
Mostly assembled:
And then was time to maintain another bike, with the involvement of its owner, volunteered, of course:-)
