So far i have done most of the maintenance including oil, oil filter, spark plugs, air filter, drive belt and my seat opening damper etc. Only have to change the case filter (since this part took a while to be delivered to me) and the final drive oil, but i will tackle these two very soon and then i will also check the clutch.
I have also fitted a J.Costa Pro variator and i am very impressed with the performance and lack of vibrations when compared to the stock rollers. 0-100 km/h is more than one second faster when compared to the stock setup and midrange pickup is very, very good.
The J.Costa does make the driveline very nervous at lower speeds though, i must say that i am not entirely sure if i like the upgrade because of this. It is very hard to maintain a constant speed between 30 and 60 km/h, which is the speed that you drive around town with.
