Maintenance priorities

Why do you need to fit a "Centech fuse panel" ? there are three spare fuse spaces on my GSA fuse box molding, and I expect on yours too. you just need to fit tagged lucar connectors in them and wire them up, then all your fuses are together and it leaves space for other things. Also only costs about a £1 in total. Oh and take some spare O rings for the fuel lines quick connects.

I actually didn't know that about the spare relays. My brother gave me a centech that he hadn't used so it was mostly a "OK, why not?" sort of decision.

Well, I've been working my way through these items are am almost at the end and can actually ride it again. As I said, I have no garage so it's a weather permitting affair.

I wanted to call attention to something for anyone with a similar age GS Adventure. Yesterday I replaced the fuel disconnects and fuel lines with the chrome set (available from Beemer Boneyard). I did this because when I looked at the lines they were pretty splayed at the ends and looked like it was only a matter of time before failure AND there seemed to be some gas residue on the disconnects themselves. ANyway, when I disconnected the couplings I noticed that the little rings gaskets inside the couplings were almost completely degraded, which explains the residue I saw. IF you have a GSA with quick disconnects and you haven't taken a look at these lately it is well worth a look see. You do not even have to remove the tank to do this--just pop them apart one by one and take a look. Replacing them would take about 10 seconds each.
