Preventive maintenance

Post by cushman eagle »

My bike will probably have about 86,000 miles on it going into [winter service]
With that in mind,should I be looking at water pump overhaul,alternator bearing replacement,and a new fuel pump?
I know winter service should be 3 months away yet,but I am planing ahead.
I already replaced the oil seal in the water pump,but not the water seal or the bearings.
I also replaced the brushes in the alternator. :hmm:

Loren,
I have almost the same miles on my 02. Going to Summersville my output bearing failed and Carl replaced the transmission Assy . My feeling is you never know so I don’t replace or do any overhauls until something fails. When my water pump started dripping oil I did the repair. When my coolant manifold started leaking I did the repair. So far I have not had any issues on my 96 with almost 60,000 miles on it. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
