First 2020 maintenance

First maintenance of 2020. When I bought it last year did everything to it except change the anti freeze. Flushed it, added a Stainless slinky from the Interstate model and tightened the clamp on the thermostat hose. It was real loose. All done and next maintenance change oil, and pull driveshaft, clean splines and grease u joint. Will be a little while on that because it was just done.

The PO of my bike was a fanatic on maintenance. I put a new back tire on the bike and the whole back end looked new, lots of molly paste, gaskets showed no signs of being old so I bet they got changed out. Fluids all look great. Spark plugs were just about prefect but had some age. Main thing there is the bike is running right on all cylinders.
Thinking about changing the timing belts out but I noticed in the PO's notebook he had the parts number to Gates timing belts so I'm thinking he already changed those out? When I get around to it I'll pull the tank to look over the air filter and see if the vacuum hoses are good.
Easy bike I have ever own to get in shape and I have never bought a new bike.

You can't wear them out. One of the best bikes made. Not hard to maintain at all.
