Let’s perform Deco-mainte.

The wheel bearings should be fine as they are.

P1610759_R
We’ll clean the brake discs thoroughly since we only get the chance to do this at times like these.

Fork cleaning. It’s important not to pry it open with a flathead screwdriver. The bottom case will end up with unfortunate scratches.
Slide it up and down to check for stiffness, then oil and clean it, confirm it moves smoothly, and reinstall it.

We’ll scrub the chain thoroughly to clean it, then oil it well and wipe it down.

P1610763_R
The rear bearings look good too.

P1610766_R P1610764_R
The pedals still have oil residue and are in good condition.

P1610765_R
The side stand has definitely lost its oil coating.

P1610767_R P1610768_R
The levers have oil and are in good shape. When oil runs out, the lever and master cylinder wear down and play increases.

P1610769_R
The throttle is in clean condition, which is reassuring.

P1610770_R
It’s great that you always have an extra air filter set on hand.

P1610772_R P1610771_R
We’ll replace the spark plugs, synchronize the carburetors, and we’re done.
