Suzuki’s Strongest Air-Cooled GS1000S Inspection, Tire Change, Headlight Relay

Finally the parts arrived!

With various vehicles in the middle of work,
we need to be careful
not to lose track of what’s what (*´ω`*)

We’re making steady progress.

Hmm? The box says 6302
17φ…

The bearing also says 6302
What’s going on here?
Let me investigate a bit…

There’s a manufacturer that can machine bearings
I didn’t know that…

This is quite a discovery!
I’m not sure if they’ll take small quantities,
but it’s perfect for special sizes

If we can reuse the front parts
and adjust with bearings instead of making a stem shaft,
that would be easier…
That’s what I was thinking (*´ω`*)

The press fit is in good condition

Lately,
“Wait, is it loose?” situations happen, so we need to be careful.

The old one has a one-sided seal

There was still oil residue.

I’ll also check and note the distance collar.

Replaced and the front is complete (*´ω`*)
I made a rotation label with P-TOUCH

The rear had everything except the hub replaced the other day

Now I can finally secure the wheel.

I made the rear pad pins quick-release
style.

While I’m at it,
I’ll clean the rear caliper

The engine oil is low…

It might be burning quite a bit.
Let me monitor it for a while
and check on it.

Huh? BPR?

Only #1 has a BPR installed for some reason.
I have a very bad feeling about this.

And my suspicion was correct—
with a BR, it only goes in partway…
Spark plug changes on vintage bikes
require a gentle touch.

It’s been beaten up quite a bit,
so I have one.

Hasegawa HT-1014P
A special tap that repairs thread damage
It opens like a puller,
and rather than complete repair,
I use it when things feel tight or scary.

A tool that corrects from the inside outward
If you work on vintage bikes, it’s a tool
you’ll want to have.

Fluid change complete!

All that’s left is the inspection and it should be complete (*´ω`*)
