My 1999 has 69,500 miles on it. I am 3rd owner or more, not sure.
I was curious what you guys think.
The manual says to inspect at 60k and change at 90k. I bought the bike with 64k and don't know if it's been inspected or not.
Is the inspection of it that hard that I should just replace the belt while I am inspecting it? I have the knowledge, but not really the free time to do it this now/ spring.
One shop has quoted $308 to change the belt, plus $100 for coolant change. No charge for oil if I provide it.
Another shop quoted similar pricing
Or $225 to inspect it only.
What's the recommendation by you guys with tons of miles and belt swaps and inspections.
Should I just ride and do it later or do just an inspection. Or pay for all at once now and be done.
Or, wait til later in the year when I have free time and do it myself?
Of course if I don't do it now the oil will be changed soon.
I have a big ( for me ride) to the NC/Tennessee mountains in mid April, probably 1500 ish miles over a long weekend.
So, ride and check/replace later, replace now?
Thanks for the guidance!
