Skoll: Monkey maintenance 101
For a couple of days I have been a bit worried about our bikes. Several new sounds have emerged and at worst my Monkey has consumed 50% more gas than Bobs. In addition we should have checked and propably adjusted valve clearance after 300 km and we had done several times that distance already.
This morning after 1300 km we finally adjusted the valve clearance. There was nothing to it really. After opening all the caps on the engine we found where it's done and doing the adjustment was easy enough after all the practice with my dear Ural. While it improved the general sound of the bike, it did nothing to the gas consumption. For that, as well as for one of the extra sounds, I found another source - my front wheel brakes are partly dragging constantly. Any ideas on how to adjust the brakes are much appreciated. Or I can simly wait until they wear out - 4000 km ought to do that.
Other maintenance that needs to be done regularly is changing the oils every 1000 km (approximately three days), lubricating the chains every day and tightening the chains about every second day. I think by now we should also change the spark plug (I really can't be bothered to clean it) but we haven't found suitable ones - not that we really have been looking.
Other than the few odd noises my bike is keeping (or maybe I'm simply paranoid), the Skyteam Monkeys have held up fine - thanks go to our sponsor Motopower in Tampere. That again Pyrenees and the hot sun in Spain are still waiting for us so we'll have to wait und see.
