If you’re not used to it, removing the fairing is a hassle.
We insert protective boards on the left and right and drag it out. Basically, you can’t remove it cleanly. Without love, power, and trust with the owner, you can’t do the work.
We’re modifying the Deco-mainte content and proceeding.
Fork oil replacement that hasn’t been done in quite a while. It’s a job that’s hard to request in terms of labor hours, but the effect is significant. The smell and dirt look pretty good.
There’s some minor damage to the inner tube. For now there’s no leakage, so we’ll keep using it. If it starts leaking, we’ll re-plate it.
After replacing the fork oil, we vacuum-bleed to purge air. This fork’s structure makes air purging difficult with just stroking, but vacuum-bleeding does it in one shot. With any fork, vacuum-bleeding gives you the peace of mind of proper air purging—it makes a huge difference once you adopt it.
We’re going to disassemble and clean the Keihin CR-SPL
It’s running fine, but I’m a bit concerned about the dirt. We’ll do a light disassembly and freshen it up.
We don’t disassemble down to the four-stage, but we remove and clean the throttle valve, jets, and everything. Checking the jets again will be good for the future.
The float chamber is rust-free and looks good.
A vacuum pump that can also be used for carburettor synchronization! Get one this year-end!
It was so clean we didn’t even need to change it….
Caliper cleaning and fluid replacement
Calipers with external dust seals are nice. With a single oil seal, they have low friction and good operation while keeping dust out. Both front and rear were problem-free.
The fluid condition looks like this. The rear looks jet black, but that’s just the body’s anodizing showing through. The brake fluid is the absolutely reliable Golden Cruiser DOT4.
