In addition to getting the bike ready, I've been doing some work on the tow truck and trailer. It's an area I think gets passed up too often. So far, I've gotten just about every fluid changed in the truck. I was surprised to see the gear oil in the axles wasn't too bad at 120k miles. It looked too clean, I'm guessing the previous owner had it changed at least once. The transfer case, however...wow. Like most, it takes ATF, and it was BLACK! Not the light pink it should be. It was bad enough that I might only run it another 10-15k and change it again. It had to be original fluid, and the truck is a 2004... No metal chunks or big flakes, but just really, really bad. Had the transmission flushed, which really smoothed out the shifting. The coolant was changed when the water pump was replaced. Only have the brake fluid and power steering fluid left to change. Other than that, I think I'll be good. Going to pull a trailer tire and have a look at the wheel bearings, but I think they'll be just fine.
The new (To me) R6 is coming along great. Really only going to need track plastics very soon.
I'm anxious to hear Billy's voice over the loud speaker.... "First call, first call 10 minutes..."
