Gave the Uly it's 32 000km service today.

Simple, right?

For starters, the head on one bolt on the primary inspection cover stripped while undoing.
No problem, screw extractor and will get new on from HD.

While the oil is drained I might as well fix the weeping on the clutch cable.
Turns out the cable was half snapped off where it goes into primary.
Luckily HD had one in stock for another customer working offshore on oil rigs at moment.

Installed new clutch cable, did clutch adjustment, installed new bolts.

Had to replace front brake pads. F&^%$#cking screw on master cylinder cover stripped while trying to undo.
Off to hardware store to get replacements. [mad]

Started at 10:30 this morning, finished at 4pm...

Doing the servo cable removal tomorrow and then a nice spit and polish! [up]

True and experience gained is awesome, the unexpected cost not so much...[down]

I feel for you. Give 'Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" a read sometime if you haven't already. There's a section in there about how all the proper tools, parts, & knowledge mean nothing if you start running out of patience. :D
