Bonnie Servicing

Hi all
I love to do as much maintenance/servicing on my bikes as possible
Are there things that maybe too difficult or tough to handle for a home mechanic ?

My Bonneville is 2011 vintage
Regards John

 

Brain surgery?

 

Hmmmmmm

 

Sorry couldn't resist it!!
Most work can be carried out depending on your tools and competency/ bravery, I beleive there is some major stuff to do with shims at a certain mileage that sounds daunting, but is possible.

 

They are a piece of cake to service. The most complicated service thing is checking/adjusting the valve shimming. Checking is a piece of cake, adjusting the shims requires a bit more bravery, but even so it's not a really big deal.

 

Thanks for that fellas .......... As I thought really
Will invest in a decent manual ....... I have a Haynes one however ???

 

You know the phrase "do it once, do it right" - get the proper Triumph paper one, it is worlds better than a Haynes book of lies.

 

Yep and I've your old one!!

 

You understand Eric, it wasn't for me to say, even though I was SORELY tempted
