    So I've got the old girl stripped down to get her ready for a RWC (switching from VIC to QLD rego).

    So far I've touched up some cracks in the fairing and checked the oil, coolant, brake fluids and planning on a deep clean. Question is, what else can I do maintenance wise while I've got all her clothes off?

    lube the chain, check tyre pressures and make sure rear brake light comes on from hand and foot levers. check separately.

    check coolant hoses for cracks/leaks, carb boots for health/crack, carb balance & fuel levels if necessary and pressure wash, but it looks like a pretty tidy bike all told

    Cheers guys! Chain lube will be next (got a bit of a tight spot to loosen up) along with your suggestions @risky.

    The side cover adds "character" @kiffsta ;p I'll be fixing it up next oil change.

    Never even thought to check hoses and boots for splits, great tip @ruckusman.
