FML. Why did all of these have to come due at once? This is going to be like a grand in maintenance this weekend...
Valve adjustment. I've been pushing it. I pretty much baby the bike. Just use it for commuting so I told myself I would get it done at 25k. I know that is pushing it but the bike has been starting fine and hasn't given me any grief at all and I have heard some of them can go that long. Figured I would chance it.
But also, I just realized I have put about 15k miles on the chain and sprockets since I bought the bike with about 10k miles. And I don't even know when the previous owner replaced them last so it could potentially be even more than 15k on them... So I asked the guy at Kawi to look at that as well and he said the chain and front sprocket are toast. Nothing they can do to get more life out of them. He said the rear sprocket looks almost new but I would rather just replace all three so I told him to do all three at the same time. Took this opportunity to go -1 on the front though. Leaving the rear the same since it's just a commuter bike lmao.
Last but not least the rear brakes are almost down to the metal. I never even use the rear brake :O lol. But I've also never had the rear brakes replaced in the last 15k miles either even though the fronts have been done already.
I don't really have any questions... lol. I just wanted to rant about having to drop about $900 I think he said the total would be that I am going to have to work 36 hours of overtime to cover because I don't have that just laying around ugh...
