We’ve had it for quite a while, but it’s almost complete now.
If you do it, it goes fast? If you don’t do it, it takes forever…
Since you’ve given us a budget, we’ll proceed with my choice within that range.
The stock brake master surprisingly doesn’t come apart much. When the cup wears out, the dead stroke increases.
We have our shop’s super-ultra machine, so it comes out shiny in no time. When general maintenance includes restoration-like elements, the vehicle’s condition can be kept in pretty good shape.
Honestly, there’s nothing tricky about this work. It’s just careful cleaning, inspection, quality check, and reassembly.
That’s how we finished it up.
Same story up front.
Already at 66,000 kilometers. The cup seal is closing up a bit.
Hub damper replacement. Suzuki makes tough ones, so they get used quite a bit, but the new one is definitely solid. It’s really stiff.
We’re replacing the chain and sprockets. They’re in pretty sharp condition. Tedious wiping and cleaning…
We clean the calipers. Looks like the piston got stuck somewhere and rotated. Well, it’s not in a meshing area, so we’ll let it slide this time. The piston operation was good.
We clean up small parts too while we’re at it.
We remove the speedometer cable during maintenance, clean it, and oil it. It’s not a part you can really feel the difference on, so we want to keep it from breaking.
We also clean and oil the speedometer gear as much as we can disassemble.
It feels nice to clean the fender underside when you have it off.
The axle shaft was fine too.
Sometimes there’s a lot of grease left over, so it’s good to clean it up once in a while and check the bearings.
Lift the dust seal, oil the visible area well, move the dust seal up and down, and check for rust or anything unusual. I think that’s the way to do it.
Between the bottom and top, apply rust-preventive oil, work it in, and wipe it off. It rusts pretty easily, so rust prevention, rust prevention.
