Basically, our shop doesn’t handle motorcycles without vehicle inspections. If it’s a second or third bike with some hobby appeal and you think you’ll take good care of it, we occasionally accept those kinds of requests.
So the customer purchased a SEROW225 WE in good condition and requested a casual inspection.
1KH-22151-10 Seal, Guard According to Yamaha’s website, it’s been discontinued. However, it’s still available from various distributors that have stock, so you might want to hurry.
Reproduction parts do exist, but the material is unclear and a bit scary. With OEM quality, you can use it with confidence and there’s no risk.
What’s strange is that even though the part number matches, the shape is slightly different. *The bolt mounting base has been removed.
Now that I think about it, an off-road bike stand was donated to us.
When I wondered how to remove it, I found a nice stand hanging on the wall. Since we rarely work on this type of bike, I’m not very familiar with it.
It was already cracked and it was only a matter of time before the chain swallowed it.
Now the chain slider should be fine for the rest of its life.
A rather unsettling side stand switch
The side stand is mounted on the swing arm. So the side stand switch wiring runs through the inside of the swing arm—a structure I’ve never seen before.
Wait! They drilled holes, welded, and laid it out just for this?? I was a bit shocked.
No bearings at all on the swing arm/linkage area
Everything works with bushings, so please lubricate regularly with grease nipples. The sleeve holes were completely clogged.
The single-piston caliper is better off overhauled
Either way, I suspected the oil seals were shot, so I went ahead and overhauled it. When you buy a used bike, you might as well disassemble the caliper—you can’t go wrong. Most of them have gone 20 years without ever being disassembled,
This type uses a resin piston. 30.20φ×32.39mm
It turned out beautifully like this. With new oil seals, the movement should be excellent.
So that’s the rear section done for now. Next I’ll just do a bit of work on the front and cable routing, then we’re finished.
