Valk maintenance

[Dirty Dave]

Boy, so hard to keep this 97 on the road. After 22 years and 100,000 kms I have to change a
fork seal.......

At 2,727 miles/year, your treatment is borderline Valk abuse. No wonder it's falling apart. LOL

Bought it in 2003. The "problem" is that I have 3 bikes.

Whatever will I wear today?

At 120+k miles on my '97 I too have had to replace a fork seal and a shifter seal. I have replaced the shock bushings and wheel bearings just because though.

I just remembered that last year my Valk gave me trouble because she was jealous of my new
Kawasaki Z900RS. Alternator wouldn't charge.

Turned out to be oxidation on some wire that needed to see 12 volts in order to let the
alternator do it's job. Had me scratching my head for a bit.
