Looks like I am doing a
Winter maintenance program now.
Started investigating front end clicking.
1.) Confirmed steering head bearings going bad. Replacing with tapered.
2.) Found main harness protection worn through. Ordered a selection of quality braided split harness wrap from ebay instead of electrical tape. Just arrived and looks good.
3.) Decided on new rear tire since old was near end of life. Rear axle took an impact gun despite lots of anti seize and proper torque procedure???
4.) Checked rear bearings out of habit while wheel off. Seriously? They are going bad again. SKFs. Ordered 2010 rear wheel this time.
5.) Might as well get iridium plugs, mangecor wires, and some primary oil while I am at it to change that.
6.) Just adjusted primary chain. Was definitely on the loose side though I check it at least as often as the schedule.
7.) Suppose I will check and lube muffler servo Cable while in there. It froze up before and threw a code back when I had OEM ECM.
Starting to add up!
8.) Suppose I should think about a better horn while I am at it? Stebel or something else?

I'm "usually" of the opinion that if something is working then to change it to something else is just to invite problems. If it's broke then that is the time to fix it otherwise wait until it breaks. Not for everything but many of the things I read that ULY owners mess around with because they read that somebody else did it.
