The other day
“Suzuki numbers have really dropped, haven’t they?”
Looking around, I noticed
it’s all Kawasaki and Yamaha?
You’re right,
oil-cooled bikes have completely disappeared.
Anyway,
let’s tackle these tasks one by one♪
The standard choice for painting? Smooth Line
came back a few days ago.
I’m always slow to open packages…
It’s finished with a brilliant shine ☆
Now I’ll replace the stem bearings.
Before that,
for aluminum dirt,
engine conditioner is quite effective
I’d like you to try it.
*Don’t use it on painted surfaces.
Just spray it on
and wipe with a cloth(‘Д’)
No scrubbing needed—dirt just floats away.
All oil dirt is removed.
Cleaning should be easy.
Convenience comes from chemistry! Right?
The races are loose… both top and bottom…
Press-fit is forever,
or so many people think?
It’s not that simple.
Damage accumulates from how you remove and install them
—it’s not a part you can just replace and be done with.
Especially with aluminum frames, be careful.
The bottom one is quite loose
—I have to rely on chemistry.
A fit tolerance of 0.25mm possible means
a mysterious bonding force
Loctite 638
You can’t work without this series of products
(;・∀・)
A small amount is best!
After assembly,
always wipe away excess Loctite,
lock it tight and wait overnight.
=Can’t assemble it today.
The handlebar and bar end are integrated?
Thread the end
and attach a regular bar end—that’s the request.
There’s already a ton of adhesive coming out,
which is depressing.
Even cutting with a knife
won’t remove it, which is even more depressing.
Scary…
The end is all scratched up
—integrated OEM handlebars are a real pain.
I’ll cut it to a safe dimension for now.
This aluminum is quite hard~
Good quality aluminum. *Duralumin
I made a jig-like tool to drill the pilot hole.
The theory that eyeballing usually fails
is pretty solid(*´ω｀*)
Today’s flow is off, so I’ll stop here
Lately,
everyone’s bikes are old,
and there are so many traps that nothing progresses.
*Excuse
(‘Д’)It’s a long holiday~
