Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, brake pads, chain and sprockets, tires, fork seals, wheel bearings are common wear items due to the nature of dual-sport riding.
Efi Specific Considerations:
Potential for clogged injectors if fuel quality is poor; regular fuel system cleaning recommended. Check for intake air leaks.
Suspension Care:
Regular fork seal checks and dust boot maintenance are crucial, especially with off-road use. Rear shock linkage bearings require periodic cleaning and greasing.
