The Z1R has that KAWASAKI emblem positioned pretty high, don’t you think?
I wonder if a lot of people quietly think that, or if it’s unlikely…
Since we can’t tackle everything at once due to scheduling, we’ll proceed with what we can do ~(*´ω｀*)
Today I’m also pushing chemicals hard!
Bringing moisture to a dull, sandy-looking bike body.
It lifts the dirt and becomes beautifully glossy all at once.
Definitely! No-touch ♪ BUY NOW
Now we’ll proceed with the tire replacement ♪
Wrapping the wheel with a cover is quick.
Slow and steady wins the race…
If you prep it properly, “Oh no!” moments become fewer, I think.
When you cut corners, you get what’s coming to you.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, so to speak.
The inside is really clean!
The person who worked on it before was careful (not me)
Rather than just thinking “Lucky!”
if you keep in mind the next person who’ll work on it, everyone’s happy, right?
That’s what I think… what do you think?
It’s too expensive for work use ( ；∀；) Plexus
I remember it used to be under 2,000 yen back in the day~
It’s inevitable that exchange rates make it nearly double.
For personal use it’s not a big deal though~
Aftermarket wheels have the air valve in a heavy position
With a proper wheel, the air valve is the heaviest part, so it ends up at the bottom.
Always check this when assembling tires~
Quickly swapping them with a manual tire changer.
We don’t even change 20 sets a year.
Using a lever is tedious and risks scratching.
For those situations, this kind of tire changer is super convenient.
I have high expectations for this one! ♪

Well, I won’t buy one, but it probably looks pretty convenient.
The changer arm? is ratchet-style
with a bead breaker function that can also help flatten the tire.
I wish someone would try buying one (*´ω｀*)
• Tire size range: 12-21 inches, up to 250mm width
• Compatible axle shaft diameter: 20-32mm (For 15-20mm and 32-68mm, please use separately sold adapters.)
There aren’t many that support thin axles, so this is really helpful.
While the tire wax is still working,
I fill it to the max pressure marked on the tire.
It’s not just “pump it up tight!” but rather, if you really let the sidewalls show,
it should get closer to the ideal shape the tire manufacturer intended.
I’ll clean the front and rear calipers.
Despite being quite worn, the piston movement is smooth.
I was a bit surprised.
Lockheed is basically stubborn.
The axle shaft runout is no problem.
Cleaning up all the little details. To be continued (*´ω｀*)
(‘Д’) Ugh~ it’s so hot~ I don’t even feel like riding.
