Let’s continue with the Deco-mainte.
There’s still some oil residue around the lever, but it’s gotten old and turned viscous.
Let’s rinse it out, clean it thoroughly, and apply fresh oil.
There’s no severe wear. With proper oiling, it should stay in good condition for a long time.
You don’t need to apply a lot. Make sure to wipe away any excess.
The throttle area is clean too. I think it’s fine to leave it without oil or just apply a thin coat.
A light application like you’d use on skin is plenty. More is never better.
I haven’t seen another Yamaha come through, so I can’t compare, but this is an unusual stand design. Most use a U-shaped clamp, but this one is just held with a stepped bolt and nut.
The lubricant had also turned viscous.
It’s aluminum and extremely light.
The left and right pedals have good oil residue and are in great condition.
Yamaha has such cool designs on these small parts. And they’re aluminum. I wonder if the chamfer has a radius, but it looks like it could be made from a round bar.
The rear has an unusual single-sided needle roller wheel. No adjustment needed, which is nice.
The hub damper is still usable.
The rear caliper is clean too. When cleaning a sliding caliper, it’s better to remove the pins and boots. Water can get inside and cause rust.
We replaced all the fluid. The tank is pretty dry, so we’ll get to that soon.
The air filter was clean too, but we cleaned it anyway.
It was clean except for one moth that had gotten inside.
It has twin plugs, so we installed four new ones.
After a test ride, we’ll be done.
