Season 2004

Got the bike in April from Jokiniemi, glorious 0 km on the meter
break-in with mototune method
-first (mineral) oil change at 89 km, oil was dark and same filings were detected
-next (mineral) oil change at 500 km, oil was looking good, no filings
-1000 km service at Jokiniemi (oil, oil filter, overall check)
-oil started to go dark after 4000 km
-air filter check at 6000 km
-(synthetic) oil change at 7000 km (Castrol GPS 10W-40)
-after 7500 km rear tire is finished Bridgestone Battlax BT-012 is too soft. Replaced with Bridgestone Battlax BT-020.
-12539 km, new oil (GPS 10W-40), air filter check, SET valve check
-17999 km, new oil and oil filter, new air filter (old was clogged, difference is really felt!), new spark plugs (too early I guess, old plugs were still in top condition)
-20983 km, end of season 13.9 as both tires are finished
-25.9 oil change, GPS 10W-40. kept the engine running before the change until fan started (thats good for the battery)
-installed Motovation frame sliders and swingarm sliders
-turned the shift lever upside down to avoid false neutrals between 5th & 6th gears
