It's been quite a few years since I've owned a sled, and it was a '79 340 Enticer that wouldn't die! It was our beater sled, and yes we did beat it, but boy we sure had fun when we should have been doing our homework! Ahh, the easy days of highschool!

Anyway, just bought this '99 SRX600 with 2158 miles on it (picking it up on Saturday) and I want to go through it and make sure everything is up to factory spec. I am very mechanically inclined, do all the wrenching on my cars and summer toy ('02 Yam FZ1), but I just don't know where to start on this one.

I know, I know, start with buying a manual! I will will, but until I do, where do I start guys?

I want to make sure everything is cleaned and adjusted PROPERLY to factory spec for right now so I don't have any issues as I put this baby through its first winter.

Please advise on ANYTHING that I should check, adjust, clean, lube, etc.

What should I pay attention to at this mileage?

I want to start with it right so I dont have any problems.

Thank you all for your time!
 
Clean the carbs
clean and synchronize the powervalves.
check for proper oil pump cable adjustment, adjust if needed
grease all suspension zerks(front and rear suspension) as well as the zerk on the speedometer housing and steering system zerks.

That is some of the basic stuff I'm sure others will add more. I need to go to sleep.
 
check the carbides and the hyfaxes and all the little wheels under your suspension. Make sure you have a spare belt or put a new belt on and keep the old for a spare.
