Now let’s continue with the maintenance (‘ω’)ノ
The caliper condition looks fine.
The pistons are aluminum, so that’s reassuring. The old caliper’s “dust boots” are really something special when you think about it. The pistons stay remarkably clean—that’s excellent.
I cleaned the chain thoroughly and applied lubricant.
When you touch the chain with your hand, you can really feel the “wear condition” very well.
I removed the lever area and cleaned and lubricated it.
Depending on the lever, some can work with “loose tightening.”
We judge based on the situation and make good use of lock nuts and such.
A bit pricey? Lubricant “Tri-Flow” —we love this stuff at our shop.
It’s pretty rare to find something with PTFE (fluorine) in it.
From my impression, “it penetrates very easily and becomes smooth with minimal amount” is what I feel.
A little squirt makes it smooth and lasts well.
Let’s finish up the step area.
For its era, it’s quite a labor-intensive design. That’s Bimota for you.
We cleaned up the side stand and everything around it.
I finished the base on both sides.
At times like this, I really think “bare metal” is the best.
I measured the disc thickness for reference. I wonder what the original was…
I lubricated the speedometer and tachometer cables.
I think this area too should be “kept usable for as long as possible.”
I changed the fluid too.
The reason the image on the right looks black is “the anodized aluminum body below” is showing through.
Overall condition is excellent, so that’s a relief.
We’re planning to change the spark plugs tomorrow and we’ll be done (*’▽’)
