Starship log 23112015:
Well, to utilise my time appropriately, I thought lets get Starship prepared. To the uninitiated, Starship is my ROYAL ENFIELD Thunderbird 500cc. I confess I am a trekkie.
Monday ( today ), what better day to make sure that Starship is well prepared to ride throughout December and Jan. With time at hand even the Maestro Anthony was like "ok lets get your bike done. "
Post Anton's diagnosis, we are going to ...
1. Change the front wheel bearings
2. Plug the oil leaks from the head
3. Service the bike.
4. Complete oil change. Change the oil filter as well.
These are not major repairs, but the essential ones, that should be checked and completed before any major ride, on a Royal Enfield. It would not hurt to regularly keep checking you bike, this will avoid any surprises and delays due to those surprises. Not forgetting the money that the surprise might cost.
Post repairs, a test ride by Anton should confirm if all is well.
P.S. in all I think it's more than 7000 kms riding coming up in the next 2 months.
I think Starship will be good.
