Speed Triple -06 Maintenance

Barrelrider71 · May 31, 2021

Hello!

I'd like some advice on maintenance as I want my triple in good condition.
The bike has about 18600 miles (30 000 km) on the clock and runs great. I have the manual and plan on doing the following:

- Oil and filter change
- Air filter check/change
- Regrease steering head, linkage and rear wheel bearing
- Change brake fluid and coolant
- Fuel filter

Would you call this sufficient or is there anything else preventative I could do? Like balance the throttle bodies?

Best regards Jesper

Just be mindful that if there isn’t a lot of grease in the steering head bearings when you undo the top yolk nut and lower the stem you are likely to loose your balls and if some go into the frame tube they may disappear forever and you’ll then be faced with the possibility of replacing them with taper roller bearings.
