Bandit 1200 Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection / Rear maintenance / Wheel bearing maintenance and more

Whoosh!
 

 
The upright fork lets you rotate the inner tube, so we make good use of that
 

 
Cleaning the back of the fender and mudguard is something we do for ourselves
 

 
Pop!
 

 
Grease present ★ The storage condition becomes surprisingly clear from the bearings we remove
 

 
OK
 

 
This is settled! I’m convinced
 

 
Even when we replace the wheel bearings and get everything feeling nice,
it’s not always the same across every bike.
When one part is sorted, it feels good on its own,
but there are other factors at play, so we can’t say for certain it’s lighter…
Up front, the disc, pads, and caliper always hold things back.
At the rear, the disc, pads, and caliper
plus the chain and sprocket condition come into play.
It’s pretty tricky!
 

 
Wash the caliper and replace the pads
 

 
Change the oil
 

 
The O-ring on the cap is looking tired too, so we replace it ★
The area we focus on with oil-cooled bikes is exactly where we build up parts inventory!
 

 
Bleeder caps with and without tags are always in stock ★
Man, it’s nice to have blog storage space!
