Thanks Ian Ian, What is actually needed in the way of service would depend on how well the dealer set the bike up after uncrating. It's always a good thing to assume nothing has been done and that way you will be able to establish a baseline. Another good idea is to keep notes on items (just a Post-It note on the wall) you service that are out of the ordinary day-to-day stuff, such as steering head bearings and suspension linkage. You'd be surprized at how time moves and something you thought you did a couple of months ago will actually have been done over a year ago. To answer the last question, it will probably take a little over 400cc's of tranny fluid and Type-F ATF works well in the 07'. Change it often (I change mine about 5-10 hours of use of after a wet Trial) as the trans fluid also lubes the crank main bearings and more importantly, the needle bearings in the two-piece primary trans shaft (it's how GasGas can get a 6-speed gearbox out of only 4 sets of gears). Heres some items to service and I'm sure others will add a few to the list: Front/rear wheel bearings (pry off seal and pack with waterproof grease). Suspension linkage (don't forget the needle bearing sets under the swingarm, most riders do just the dogbones and that's why these swingarm pivot bearings are usually the first to go bad). Lube all pivot points on the bike like levers, rear brake bushing, throttle, etc. Drain all the fuel and mix fresh before riding (you've had it months and only used it a couple of times and most of the "high-end aromatics" will have boiled off and escaped out the vent tube). Check spokes and all fasteners. These are a few to get you started and it would take several pages to list everything, and you can use the maintenance schedule for the 06' Pro at http://www.trialspartsusa.com/manuals/eng.pdf (download the 06' Owner's Manual).

telecat Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Personally most of that is weekly with the exception of Oil and Bearings. I check Bearings weekly and change the Gearbox oil monthly. The Bike is used every weekend however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
