Without advance reservation, it’s difficult to handle maintenance along with the inspection.
If it’s just simple fluid top-ups, we can barely manage.
It’s amazing—even after 5 years of sitting idle, just replacing the battery gets the engine running. Terrifying, really…
Fuel injection is incredible, even on older bikes (*’▽’)
Let’s get this work done quickly.
The design is such that you can’t figure out how to remove it just by thinking.
Push and pull? Clips? Or physical fasteners?
Despite being older, the serviceability is quite poor.
Just to remove the left undercowl, you have to take off all this…
Racer aftermarket fairings are designed for easy removal, so why not production bikes? (*´з`)
Water-cooled full fairings are basically my weak point.
Draining the coolant now.
The engine oil is Shell Advance Ultra 4T 10W-40.
The cap still looks fine, so we’re reusing it.
We’ve replaced the fluid.
By touch, it felt a bit squishy, but that went away as we replaced it—though there might be some gel in there.
The work is complete. (*’▽’)
The tires are in bad shape, so no test ride. After the invoice, we’re all set!
