If I dont know...

what fluids the previous owner used (although I am almost sure they are the honda fluids) should I drain whats in there and fill it up with what I want.

I want to bleed the brakes but I am not sure what kind of fluid the previous owner used

I was thinking about just draining it all out and just filling it with the motul but at the same time might as well get some SS lines while I am going through the trouble.

Upgrade to the SS barake lines and then use the motul brake fluid. You shouldnt have any problems as long as you flush the system good. Dont forget to add a banjo bolt bleeder in your upgrade

Been looking for a place that has all the parts needed. I can get the motul and lines but usually have to order the banjo bleeder bolt from somewhere else

For awhile at least, Galfer was including the banjo bolt bleeder for the master cylinder with their lines. Perhaps they still do. One less thing to try and track down...

Re: If I dont know...

I have Goodridge lines, got a much better deal on them than the Galfers.

Yeah if you have the time, I'd change the oil, drain the coolant, put in new oil/coolant. Drain the brake fluid from the front brakes, rear, and clutch, and put in some Motul 5.1 or ATE superblue. You'll have fun but you'll start writing checks :p

Time ehhhhhh. You mean like the months of cold, snow and ice that are starting to roll in

Only good thing for me is that my bday is fri so I am just thinking what I want/need. Not sure what I want (Satos not being an option ) though since I just got my sato clipons

I figured brakes first b/c they feel a little spongy so that would be where I was starting. While I have the lines empty I might as well put on the new lines

Then onto the oil/filter. Then the coolant.

Gearing ehhhhh. HMMMM might just have to do that. Think that would make a big difference in the bike Guess that also means I need a speedo recalibration jammy wammy

If I had the $$ the satos would have been ordered the night I picked up my bike

Re: If I dont know...

Much as I love canned twins, I'd regear an RC before I spent money anyplace else, honestly. I can't stand how tall they're geared from the factory.
