While the tupperware is off.......

[Mazo EMS2]

This winter I plan to pull the panels off and dig in for some maintenance projects. Pretty short list right now, so I'm looking for some of those forgotten things. I've got a 2010 RT with about 23K miles on it.

1. Brake fluid flush/fill
2. Clutch fluid flush/fill
3. Adjust fog lights up a bit if possible
4. Change brake pads all around
5. Replace any missing grommets/fasteners
6. Belt adjust with the Krikit
7. Probably an oil change, but not really due for one yet

What else???

I'd like to unplug/disable the two analog gauges, but not sure what to replace them with. I have a dual USB already in a speaker grill.

Removing the two analog gauges is easy-peasey.
What to fill those holes with? :dontknow:
Why not nothing? Just remove the entire panel that they've been mounted in, and leave things nice and simple?
Other folks have filled the pods with:
Voltmeters
Clocks
Ammeters
Oil Pressure Gauges
12-volt power ports
Compasses


Personally: I'd add a Warp speed indicator, and a Di-Lithium Crystal monitoring station! :clap:

8. Replace both vacuum hoses to the MAP sensor - if not already done.
9. Replace plugs and wires with BajaRon's - if not already done.
10. Check Torque / Re-torque front sprocket bolt.
11. Tighten every bolt / screw you can find.
12. Replace fuel filter. Replace air filter depending on time since last replacement.
13. Consider replacing the windshield adjusting arm with Noboot's BEFORE it breaks.

P.S. You still on the original battery?

Change the oil prior stuffing for the winter.

Just a suggestion, Check the centre arm on your Windscreen (to make sure it's not cracked), the one that lifts it up and down. There have been a few from that year breaking lately.

8. Did it

Got a new battery when I bought it last year.
Will check the other items though

Thanks for the suggestions though.

This is what I did to get rid of the gauges.
