    Hey guys,

    As a noobish guy that's learnt a lot over the past 3 months I thought it might be cool to have a thread where people can recommend the parts they use when doing routine maintenance. You know - the things that need changing regularly and especially when you get a new-old bike. To have this in one place would make a nice reference.

    Here's my list of part types (please feel free to add to it) - if the pro's could respond with what specific parts they choose to use I think it might be a darn helpful reference:

    Air Filter:
    Oil:
    Oil filter:
    Front Brake Pads:
    Rear Brake Shoes:
    Brake Fluid:
    Fork Oil:
    Tires:
    Bulbs:
