Is the YZF name long? YZF-R1 inspection, oil, coolant, fluid exchange, master OH

Yamaha’s fairings are thin and flexible, which means they’re hard to crack
—I really appreciate this kind of thoughtfulness.

Now let’s do the fluid exchange (*´ω`*)

Every time I touch the SS, I’m amazed

Above all, aside from removing the fairings, the maintenance is really good .
Bikes that require you to remove the exhaust —hmm… I can’t help but think that’s a hassle.

The coolant drain is also equipped

Even nowadays, there are still specs where you have to pull the pipe out! Having a drain makes everyone happy! But since it also increases costs a bit, it might be a cost-cutting target.

When draining the coolant, the leftover exhaust duct can be subtly useful (*´ω`*)

Powder coming out of the brake master?

When I removed the boots, it was all crusty…
Leaking is definitely happening.

I’d like to do an OH before it gets to this point, but the judgment criteria are tricky.

It’s an umbrella-opening structure

The left one is used and a bit saggy.
The right one is brand new and perky! Once hydraulic pressure is applied, it works well enough.

When you replace it with a new one, it becomes perky! so the feel becomes more linear.

Front air bleed and rear fluid exchange complete (*´ω`*)
