Handy v7 maintenance tips
« on: September 20, 2023, 12:46:13 PM »
So I was installing tires for my v7 850. Got a flat and opted to just change both tires as the puncture was significant.

Went with Bridgestone BT 46. Used the zip tie trick to mount the tires and for me it helps. Thinking of changing brake fluid soon. Anyone know what size for speed bleeders?

Also occurred to me anyone have anything they particularly find handy in the maintenance of v7 850? Looking to learn tips and tricks. Maybe irrelevant but curious.

Maintenance is straightforward, but compared to a V7II, an open end 24mm wrench is needed for gearbox drain plug...or a VERY thin box wrench.
