The weather continues to be a bit uncertain. Since the outside temperature has dropped, I can tolerate it, but it’s really unfortunate when the bike is finally ready to ride.
Work is progressing, but “There’s so much to do and so much I want to do in life that no amount of time is ever enough.”
I’ll be updating the progress like this. Most of it is complete, but…
I’m going to install Shabondama’s aluminum cooling fan.
Just installing this doesn’t mean it will cool down. It improves the cooling efficiency when the fan spins, so it’s about higher efficiency when the fan is running.
Looking at it this way, the blade size is completely different, so expectations are high, right?
I uploaded it on YouTube Shorts.
I used to use Suzuki genuine molding, but the price has gotten quite expensive, so I’m now using Amazon alternatives. It’s slightly taller, but there’s no sense of incongruity and I can use it just like before.
And the flexibility has increased dramatically while the price has dropped significantly, so I want to continue using this molding.
The fuel funnel honestly has a bad name. Nobody would search for it with that name, so I think it’s a hidden gem.
The curved blue part at the tip is a ball joint that moves freely in all directions. So you can use it well even in layouts where coolant refilling is difficult. And what’s even better is that it has a valve. You can gently open it and refill little by little, that kind of control is possible. Plus, there’s a neodymium magnet on the back, so you can stick it to iron even when it’s full of liquid.
It’s so convenient that if you think coolant refilling is a pain, check it out (*´ω｀*)
Lead battery is gel! Yes! Pro Battery is the best!
At our shop, the battery choices come down to two options: Pro Battery or Shorai Battery.
The pattern is usually replacing Pro Battery every 2 to 3 years, or replacing Shorai Battery with increased capacity and lighter weight around every 4 years. I choose based on the owner’s values.
Always do the initial charge. Surprisingly, the battery is often less than half charged.
Taking a little time upfront makes a huge difference later. Just having the battery terminal nut raised dramatically reduces the frustration of removing and installing the battery.
Even if you’re replacing the battery yourself, I definitely want you to do this work. I use the leftover double-sided foam from the Shorai Battery to lift the nut. Rubber hose or anything else is fine, so don’t be lazy and do it. In other words, please be considerate so that I have an easier time.
The connector was severely deteriorated, so I replaced it. I have to keep stocking these electrical parts little by little, so it’s surprisingly tedious.
Finished installing and setting up the drive recorder.
If you put P-touch on the camera, removal and installation become easy. Ideally, try not to mark it each time, as it will be more convenient.
I set the camera to the highest image quality and impact sensitivity to 1. 0 would also be fine. I’ve also adjusted the angle and time, so rest assured.
At this time, I can’t finish the blog, so I’ll stop here… To be continued.
