GS1000S Inspection, Self-Point Maintenance, and New Tech Oil Change

GS1000S rare red and white model. I’ve never seen another one like this.
Inspection, oil change (completed the same day), and self-point maintenance were requested.
[Maintenance and Service] *Astounding improvement! Wash the headlight and restore brightness? Testing with a dirty lens!
The headlight lens we featured the other day was from this GS1000S.
Let’s wipe down the chain thoroughly and clean it.

I personally apply it pretty generously
Grip and slide it through. I want it to penetrate all the way to the pins inside.
I want to make sure the chain oil soaks in deep.
With this method, gloves Model Robe No.1100 Mechanic Gloves are essential. If you have time during maintenance, I think it’s good to make it a habit.

I currently use two chain oils
·Suzuki Koki LS Bell Hammer Gold Concentrate Bottle 300ml
·D.I.D Motorcycle Chain Lube 420g

The reason I use two is this.

First, I use Bell Hammer Gold to lubricate the chain thoroughly and deeply, then wipe it down hard with a dry rag.
Next, I coat the entire chain with D.I.D Chain Lube, wipe it thoroughly again, and after a test ride, wipe it one more time to finish.

I think it actually penetrates better when the chain is warm (right after riding).
I cleaned the calipers. The seals are starting to feel a bit stiff. It’s not urgent, but it’s something to keep in mind for an overhaul down the road.

For piston lubrication after cleaningCCI Metal Rubber (Non-Mineral Oil Brake Lubricant) 300ml MR20 36-2030
For rust prevention and shine on the caliper body AZ C1-009 Long-Term Rust Preventative←This one works pretty well. *Be careful not to get it on the piston area)

The calipers will have a nice shine and brake dust should be less likely to stick.
CCI Golden Cruiser Brake Fluid DOT4 was replaced.
By the way, it’s from the same manufacturer as Metal Rubber, which I trust implicitly.
I cleaned around the levers, applied lubrication, and replaced the lock nuts.

That completes today’s work.
