I was going through all the maintenance intervals filling in a new iPhone app (Bikeminder for UK & bikeminder-US for the States), which I really like.
For the 600 mile chain inspect & lube, (600 in service manual,500 in the owner's manual, but too hard to do every 2.5 fill-ups) the service manual includes sprocket inspection in the Drive Chain section. This means removing the "left rear cover," the plastic thing hiding the front sprocket
This means taking off the shifter assembly, and when putting it back together, replacing the "gearshift arm pinch bolt" with a new one (P/N 90010-MLO-720 if you care).
Really? I assume that 1) no one is inspecting the front sprocket every 600 miles, and further 2) when they are, they aren't putting a new bolt on the shifter.
Or am I over-thinking the whole thing?
