Servicing my sprint RS

1. Allow loads of time for oil draining to get as much as poss. out - rock the bike from side to side as well;

2. Use a new copper washer for the sump plug and DON'T over-tighten it;

3. Fill the new oil filter with fresh engine oil before installing it;

4. I think you'll need to take the tank and the airbox out, to access the spark plugs, so maybe it would be a good time to change the air filter as well?

 

If you have to lift the fuel tank and remove the air box to change the plugs (which I'm sure you do), take a picture of all the pipes and electrical connections. On reassembly, double check they are all secure before lowering the tank back in to position. Take extra, extra care if disconnecting the fuel connectors, as some early ones are very brittle.
Put copper grease on the spark plug threads and dialectric grease on the HT lead connectors.

 

And a Haynes manual helps too.. Ive got one so if your stuck give us a shout

if your tensioner is worn you may just need to change that,( easier to remove than replace) give me a shout if you need anything I can help with.

 

This is not something I would attempt without instruction you may find a vid on you tube. Good Luck

You may want to change the coil seals to T1291511. Unless they have been done already.

 

I think he has the other coils

 

Ok. She's a early engine then.

Are you referring to the free play adjuster?
