Don't put many miles on the Rune, but there's still some things to keep it up.
Original tires still had tread (6600 miles), but they were 13yrs old.
Not a hard job to pull the wheels, but with parts skyrocketing in price; I took my time.
Replacement cost for the wheels is $2400/rear, $2300/front. Took the wheels to a local shop with a "no touch" changer.
The Rune shares the same engine as the Goldwing, except the Rune has more overlap on the cams, and it has six throttle bodies versus two on the GW's
Oil and filter was changed. Brake & clutch fluid was flushed out also.
These 1832cc engines have certain quirks. For some reason it tends to leak A/F because some clamps loosen over time. There's 19 clamps on the cooling system. Had to remove the radiator enclosure, and even then could only get to 14 of the clamps. I was able to see the other 5, and it appears they aren't leaking.
Another quirk on some of these is the rear brake tends to "acquire" air when it sits for long periods of time. Some go through the very intrigue bleeding process. I hang a weight on the brake pedal for about 24hrs, and it bleeds itself through the compensating port.
