Task List for Newer Valkyrie Owners

[jnicks01]

Hey guys,

I know that there have been many posts with questions on what to do for maintenance.  Mainly from newer owners.  I am one.  I am going on season 1 with this beast. 

I've done a ton of research and feel I have a decent list of things that should be done, desired to do, and things I still have to do. 

I just wanted to share this and hope it lends a helping hand for some of us rookies. 

I'm sure there will be opinions of why I should/shouldn't do this or that, but overall i think it is pretty comprehensive.

Yup, that's pretty doggone comprehensive alright.

Desmog?  Electric fuel shutoff?  Stainless lines?  DARKSIDE?

Pretty thorough.

I'd add "clean start switch contacts" Mine were corroded and began to melt. This will stop the train entirely. I only just managed to save them. Otherwise, you're looking at a new start switch assembly.

Also, assess your fork springs. Sagging fork springs make for bad handling. Especially noticeable at 80 mph when you're passing a truck in a turn and you hit a bumpy expansion joint.

If it’s running and riding well, then there’s no hurry on major maintenance. One issue that’s usually ignored is the rear drive. Change the fluid in it and use a good synthetic gear oil. Check the drive train. Engine off, in gear and roll it back and forth. Do you hear/feel any issues? If not, then R&R the rear wheel next fall after the riding season. Check wheel splines and drive shaft.

Don't forget to add the premier mods:
1. SignalBoss for autocancelling turn signals and hazard/escort flashing
2. Jersey Bracket for fixing the sloppy shifter design
3. ECT Mod for increasing the ignition advance and giving a bit more getup-n-go!
