4000 miles-what maintenance?

[Snowaddict]

I hit the 4000 mile mark this weekend on my '05 RX-1. Just wondering what things I should now be checking or changing?I have not touched the chain case or it's oil. I was figuring that I probably should. What's the procedure for doing that correctly? What about bearings? I have a filter kit, do they need to be cleaned somehow? The first two seasons (I think this was before I even added the filters and clutching) I had seen 124 on the dream meter and now can only see 115. If you use the ringfree, do you have to change the oil immediately after that ride or can you wait awhile? I'm sure I will think of other stuff, but if anyone has any answers let me know. Thanks.

when you are done riding for the season, change motor oil and filter. change gear oil, drain plug is in tunnel, abt. 8 onces. pull skid and check for cracks or damage, change bearings in all wheels, hyfax, grease, re-install skid. check skis, carbides, allignment. replace drive shaft bearing on clutch side(ub205). check jackshaft bearing behind secondary, at least pop seal and grease with needle tip. run seafoam in gas for the last tank or two, and if you want you can add to oil on last ride before you dump it. air filters can be cleaned with castrol super clean and dried.

Don't forget about the bearing behind the speedo gear. The drain bolt for the chaincase is located behind the bottom of the chaincase inside the tunnel. Here's a picture.

Me too just about 4600. I found I have a few wheels with bearing on the way out.. on order.

My crossover tube was pulled from the tunnel.. both rivets broke.

Other than that shes good.

What about plugs? Mine are still original? I ordered them too.

Before the canary-belt incident on my 04warrior i greased the bearing behind the secondary(good shape)and the one at the speedo pick-up(lots of water came out,grease this bearing as soon as possible).Only 3000+ miles,much early than i expected.
