I have a few things on my “ to do” list for the GT. 1) valve check/adjust 2) EBC brake pads and fresh fluid 3 ) replace the almost 7 year old OEM India tyres( wow!) I retire September 1st and fully intend to ride more often and further.
I only have about 1900 miles on it. I have been doing more forest roads with my other bike. I still have my valve shim kit sitting on the bench. As long as it starts well, I am putting off doing valves until (if)I take a real trip on it. Otherwise I’ll do that on a cold dreary day this autumn. I did adjust out a bunch of throttle cable slop this past week. Still on my first oil and filter change. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to do 85 miles in these parts. 🙂
I’d just seal it up with a sheet of 3mm plastic. Avoid using through bolts if you can. You don’t want hardware going through the engine.
