General Season readiness questions

[rbig18]

OK, I bought an 06 Attak with 8500 miles on it. Hauled it back to Texas to work on it this summer. Looking for opinions on a few things. Keep in mind I get one week a year up in Quebec riding so I want to get the really important things taken care of so my week does not end up in problems. So far I have

1. Replaced springs in both Primary and secondary
2. Replaced bushing in Primary and secondary.
3. Installing the brass donuts now in exhaust
4. Replaced bulkhead and a-arm bushings in the front
5. Oil and filter change, chain case changed

Now I am planning to take the skid out and do bearings etc in all the wheels. The question is which should I spend my money on (wife is getting fed up). The beef up kit to the skid arms or a revalve and big spring? Can I get the beef up kit and and just revalve? Or is spring required?

Anything else that I really SHOULD do to prevent an issue?

I weight about 235 with no gear.

I would change the driveshaft berings or at least clean and grease them.

Thank you- Forgot that. I did clean and grease drive shaft bearing and jack shaft bearing.

The spring alone without revalving will yield a 'springy' ride. The compression will be fine but the spring will rebound very quickly almost as if it's over powering the shock. Revalving is well worth it.

Looks like you guys pretty much summed it up...
