Golly! That's a pretty taxing question! I even consulted my manuals for any clues! There isn't a simple answer, but I suppose I could claim that I have done that in stages over the last couple of years, as part of a progressive upgrade/overhaul.

We have just returned from a successful 2,500 mile tour to Slovakia, so it all seems to be in fine order! The only minor snag was water in a toggle switch, which caused a temporary total loss of electrical power, but we overcame that.

There is a very simple answer. The answer you're looking for is NEVER. Everyone does it in stages over various timescales. That don't count, lol. You better have ticked NEVER, lmao.

Does stopping off at the local after a blat around,
standing there with fag in one hand and a pint in the other,
gazing with misty eyes at yer bike count as inspecting it?
