Handlebars like this are surprisingly easy to ride, you know. That laid-back, mellow LTD vibe?
The customer requested a motorcycle inspection, brake disc replacement (OEM), and an oil change.
When you think about it, the odds of a motorcycle’s popularity skyrocketing are actually pretty high…
Lately, Kawasaki’s packaging looks really cool. It’s great.
The OEM brake disc turned out to be more affordable than Sunstar.
The center bore is pretty loose! So I secured it while thinking, “That’s so Kawasaki…”
I didn’t want the thread locker to grip too hard since it’s scary to remove, so I used half strength.
If it’s positioned higher, even if it breaks by some chance, it might be safer.
The bearings should be fine. I’m the type who always removes the speedometer cable.
It’s easier to tell when the wheel is seated properly with that satisfying click, and it gives me more peace of mind.
Going back a bit: you need to clean the threads with a tap, or a lot of thread locker residue will remain, so watch out.
That sound a brand-new brake disc makes is so nice – that “shoo-shoo” sound~
When you get a professional wash, the cast iron discoloration comes right off.
It looks so clean you’d think it was repainted – I really want to know how they do it…
They must be doing something external.
I checked the new pad thickness and marked it.
Single-piston calipers sometimes improve slide operation when you replace the boots.
It’s surprisingly common for them to get old and sticky inside.
The caliper piston operation should be fine.
We changed the engine oil and we’re all done!
