LOW MILES, NO SERVICE RECORDS
Bought my 1999 Superhawk with only 2800 miles this spring. Previous owner bought it for his wife new in 2000, obviously she spent little time riding. Was told he changed oil once. In the 5 months i have owned the bike, it has accumulated another 2000 miles and an oil change. Bike came without an owners manual, My question is what maintenance should be done for this bike? Bike was kept in unheated garage on a battery tender.

+1. If you have the stock Dunlop D204s on there, change em'. Even if they still have deep tread left. You'll be glad you did.

Tires, all fluids, make sure chain is clean and properly lubed(I use WD40 as lube and cleaner). Also make sure nothing has made a home in the airbox, check the tank for rust, check all the fuses. Make sure no screws are missing, etc.

thanks
Will replace all the fluids mentioned. Yes, they are the stock tires on the bike. Thought they looked OK, but upon closer inspection there is some slight cracking of they rubber and i will replace them immediately. The motor runs like a champ! I really appreciate the support from everybody! Any suggestions on a good all round tire? Mike
