Title: 24k service? Post by: rsoffar on June 10, 2008, 07:21:12 PM the duc dealership calls this a major service...
what is entailed in the 24k service? Title: Re: 24k service? Post by: He Man on June 10, 2008, 07:31:12 PM Nothing you cant do yourself if is a carbed bike. But it is a major service. Belts, oil, valves, brake/clutch fluids, bolt/screw check, tps and co tune etc. same as your 12k but youd probably have to do suspension fluids as well, you might as well upgrade you springs while youre in there too. Did you do your 6k interval service?

If you don't have tools and/or mechanicnal skills, you may want to let the dealer do this one. Then you can take the time to familiarize yourself with the bike (and Duc's in general) while you ride.

On mine I did the valves, belts, fork oil, cleaned the carbs but didn't have tools/ability to snyc them, new fluid for clutch & brakes all around, basic oil & filter change & screen check. I'm sure there was more, but can't remember it all ~

if not replacement. Title: Re: 24k service? Post by: rsoffar on June 11, 2008, 08:54:03 AM is there a way to check maybe using the vin to see if there are any service records for it out there?

Maybe if you new the servicing dealer, but not by just calling any dealership. Is there any way you can ask the previous owner? Title: Re: 24k service? Post by: rsoffar on June 12, 2008, 02:55:41 PM dont know the previous owner... he got arrested and the bike was towed and stayed with the towing company for 3 months then they got the title and i bought the bike from the towing company.

If you aren't technically inclined you should still be able to accomplish everything except for the valves, and a rear shock service if it's needed. Just start by swapping the timing belts and fluids, then swap fork oil, you can check on ca-cycleworks website for how-to vids on how to check/adjust valve clearences. Just from riding you should be able to tell if it needs a clutch, check the rear shock the same way you would on a car. Does it compress and rebound and stop, or does it bouncey, bouncey, bouncey? Nothing really a big deal, just give the bike a once over, and if you don't want to do it yourself, have the dealer check/adjust the valves, and you're golden. Justin |
