Englishman in France

Hi all
I am resident in France near Magnac Laval, had my bike since 20th of December 2019 and coming up to first service. Totally love this bike so great to ride always makes me grin. I’ve decided to do the first service myself as the language barrier here is a pain as I’m rubbish at it! It’s my age, at 61 the old grey matter is not as good at remembering. Having trouble locating various parts but getting there slowly, anyone know where I can get crush washers for the FTR. Happy riding all. 😊👍🏻👊🏼✊🏼

Welcome ! What you do yourself you usually do better ! Reuse the crush washers, heat them red and cool them in water ! (Sorry for my very bad English)

Thanks Massimo, you are right about doing yourself at least I know it’s done correct. Will try your tip re the heating of crush washers. 👍🏻😊
