Along with maintenance, it’s good when even 1 mm or 1% of improvement helps keep it in great shape for the long haul.
At times like this, I’m glad it’s in a no-anodize state.
You don’t get many chances to clean baffles, and the muffler bracket corrosion will just stay as is. We do what we can here—if the mood strikes, we’ll take care of it.
We deliberately don’t advertise things like “we’ll do ○○ at the same time!” Services come and go. The second visit matters more than the first. Naturally, we differentiate the work accordingly.
We do unnecessary things sometimes—the thread is pretty much collapsing… and at a time like this…
We helicoiled it. These days, even with M6, if you do it 1000 times, 990 of those go in on the first try.
The front axle is fine too.
The wheel bearings should be okay.
Once in a while we remove the dust seals, clean them, and add fresh oil. SKF bearings get stiff over time.
Both calipers have a nice dusty look. The piston action is fine.
The pad thickness is pretty low.
Brake discs get pretty dirty. It won’t make a dramatic difference, but cleaning them once every couple of years might be worth it.
That’s all for today~
