30K clean bill of health

[ndgns1]

Well, as some of you may remember, I bought my bike with some pretty high milage.. about 28K..

Even though the owners manual was stamped up to the 20K check-up I still HAD to know what I got myself into.

So this past tuesday I bit the bullet and took the bike in for its 30K check-up. with 30,220 miles on it. I couldn't have planed it more perfect after a 3 day weekend.

Valves were still within spec

throttle bodies balanced

and about 30 other checks and minor maintenances performed, plugs, oil, coolants, etc. etc.

600 bucks + I needed a new front tire & Rear pads replaced

besides that the mechanic gave the rest of the bike a clean bill of health and said the original owner took real good care of it and since the valves didn't need any adjustments.. that was a good sign that the engine was in really good shape..

but the best part is.... they did the manual adjustment for the idle and it is running like a champ, absolutely no signs of dying...

All good then 8)
Wonder why they did the manual adjustment, instead of putting the recall tune in it!

I took it in for the recall tune the day after I bought it...about a month ago

but the tune programming didn't take..

It did fine for a few hours, but then went back to bad idling and stalling..

so since I already decided to fork out the cash for the 30k check-up, I asked them to go ahead and do the manual adjustment at the same time..

He mentioned something about bumping up the voltage something like .5 or something like that.. and about a 1/4 turn of something else..hahaha but it seems to work..

it appears to be a smoother idle now.. about 900rpm maybe?? I need to double check it..

Im going to talk w/him again tomorrow, and take some notes as of what was done.. I will post here if anyone is interested..

Reason i mentioned it is the same thing happened with a friends bike and i manually adjusted the idle setting for him and it has been fine since.
