SB3 Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection, Mini Maintenance, and Newtech, and Other Tales

So,
it shouldn’t take that long, but…
 

 
I think we’re getting sidetracked on all sorts of things.
 

 
It’s a filter.
 

 
It’s got a Delrin-like color and floats smoothly
 

 
What’s this? What’s going on?
 

 
I thought it was a chain, but it doesn’t seem to be…
If you don’t tighten the stand spring all the way, it hits the undercowl,
so it had been ground down.
I cleaned it up a bit more with a Velcro sander and touched it up.
 

 
We adjusted it before, so there’s only a little bit of play.
 

 
All good.
 

 
The body is black, so it looks dirty.
 

 
Front
 

 
The brake pedal was stiff, really stiff
 

 
Pretty
 

 
rough.
I cleaned it up, applied lubricant, and now it operates smoothly.
 

 
Engine oil is Newtech ★
Spark plugs are swapped out too—perfect!
Test ride tomorrow and we’re done ★
