Shiney,I'm putting my name down for this Maintenance Day.

This will be the first major service that I do on the bike, so I want to go a little crazy. What fluids do you recommend I get? I'm guessing Engine Oil, Gearbox Oil, Brake and Clutch Fluid, Coolant ... Do you (or anyone else who wants to let me know) have any recommended brands or other maintenance items (I replaced the spark plugs a few months ago)?

The other question, which probably deserves its own thread, relates to my front brake pads. This is an old thread that mentions front pads: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=a834av95edcgkr70hcckqonbp5&topic=11714.msg1214194#msg1214194
My problem:
Around about 3000 kilometers after I bought my bike the front brakes began to grind and I replaced them that same week. I put the low kms down to the previous owner not changing them for the road worthy.
Around about 3000 kilometers after the last change my front brakes are grinding again. Actually 3000 is probably an over estimation, it was 7th April when I replaced them. The pads bought were:
https://www.metalgear.com.au/mgear-brake-pads-sintered-wshim-p-7945.html
What brand do you use (again, anyone can chip in with a brand)? Are you happy with the kms you get out of them?
Bernard.

I use those pads and find that the rear ones occasionally make a loud noise when the bike is rolled out of the garage and some times when slowing down under engine compression. No noise when applied normally. If they have them in stock you could try the organic ones (remember to ask for your OZSTOC discount).

Sorry I won't be there as it is Father's Day then going to Brisbane for the Bronco's/ Manly NRL game

Discount, I forgot about that. Next time I will remember to ask. Thank you.

G'day everyone,
Unfortunately I have been moved to another job with the company I work for. The new job comes with a few drawbacks including a new roster...
So (unless someone wants to take over the Maintenance Day) I'll have to change the date to near the end of the month (sorry guys)

Anyway, if nobody minds the change of date I'll post up the new date in a couple of days

Cheers
Shiney

Squeakers (formally SlowRider) · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2018, 05:40:43 PM »

All good, changing the date is no problem for me.

Better news than Shiney's new job. (Sorry Shiney, congratulations by the way). I took my bike down to the good people at Metalgear. Turns out I have sticky calipers (also explains the excess fuel I burn). I'll hopefully get everything cleaned up in the next few weeks.

What I wanted to add was, they couldn't help me enough. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs brake stuff done.

Bernard.

No worries guys, we'll hopefully see you on another RTE soon, have fun

Hi Shiney,

I'll be coming up for this mainly so I can have others take my bike around the block & tell me if my suspension is as shocking as my friend says it is.
I ride it almost every day & while I know it's soggy, I don't have any other bikes for comparison & I'm used to my bike.

Fortunately if I do need a shock rebuild, I live 2 suburbs over from Rocklea & can find a suspension guy easily.

Sorry Shiney, I thought this was a Sunday for some reason.
I have an appointment that I have just been reminded is on this Saturday morning that's going to take a few hours (Uni & teaching related, so I can't reschedule).

I'll have to catch you some other time.

So far I think I'll be there.
