Resistance is futile  2020 Indian Roadmaster  Waiting on the current Doctor to regenerate...

Taken it in for a 24000 mile service.

Borrowed a ZZR1400 for the day.

Not a practical bike for touring, perhaps, but that engine is superb.  6th gear roll-on from 70 to stupid speed in silly time.  :shocked:  Pity the GTR can't do this as I wouldn't bother changing gear to overtake and could be even more relaxed.  :cry:

My 48k Service & Shims was £850. That was a BIG one...  :wacko:

You managed it then? Any problems?

BigAlan

Nope, steady as it went and all ok.

Onwards and upwards.

Silverback

After 2 days of riding to/from work in the rain, took it out of the garage, washed, polished and put it away again..

Boomer

Ignored it. Have been at work like most people.
May take it for a ride tomorrow if the roads dry up some.

Took the bike to work and back to blow the cobwebs away  :banana:

Gonome

Rode to work and back, same as every day. Good wash and polish over the weekend.  :banana:
Better to be old and grey than the alternative!

24K Service

Came to £550 including filters, plugs, brake oil, engine oil, coolant & air filter.

Service manual quotes it as 7 hours labour, but they discounted it to 5 hours since I also had front/rear pads and another new rear tyre.  All told £850.  :shocked:

O.C.

Removed the Primary cover, clutch plates and friction plates, re-assembled same, checked with Dial gauge,  tried to sort a damaged thread on the Clutch lever grub screw lock nut and couldn't  :hammer: drank several cups of tea turned the air blue, and decided that if the weather permits that I'll get the GTR out tomorrow...that seems like a plan  :yes:

Oh BTW the clutch problems were on the Gold Flash, not the GTR  :mfr_lol:
BE KIND...
