The weather’s been a bit iffy and muggy lately. It’s already almost November, which is unusual. I never thought I’d have to turn on the air conditioning.
Now let me continue from where I left off yesterday, going all out.
I’ll be replacing the throttle/clutch cables and air filter element.
Once I remove the fairing, I’ll give it a quick clean with an air blower since it’s pretty dusty. Easy, simple, and makes it shine! Perfect chemical. If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot.
I’ve replaced the cables and air filter. When the control systems run smoothly, it feels really good.
Definitely the number one tool I’m glad I bought this year. Repeat cable tie nipper. The price is surprisingly high, but for me it’s the best tool. I always hated having excess repeat cable ties sticking out.
The exhaust pipe mounting bolts look pretty sketchy. I lubricated them and tried turning them a bit, but the upper one wouldn’t budge at all. It’s best to wet them thoroughly and wait for the right timing before working on them. *Please don’t try to remove stuck bolts yourself.
I want to replace the brake caliper seals frequently.
When the brake caliper seals are new, the feel is really good. No matter how much you clean and wring out a worn caliper oil seal, it can’t beat a new one.
Ideally, I’d like to replace them every four years or so.
The inner walls of the brake caliper are also wet blasted and smooth (*´ω｀*). I dried it completely in the oven before reassembling.
When you overhaul the brake caliper, bleeding is very smooth and the feel comes back quickly. Brakes are really the basics.
It’s best to keep the battery fully charged.
There are frequent issues with suspicious threads. Just cleaning them up a bit makes the work go smoothly, so don’t panic and just tap new threads if needed.
Perfect! I’m impressed with Daytona’s oil filter set.
If you get Daytona’s oil change perfect set, the oil filter, O-rings, and everything else come included.
The engine oil was clean. I wonder if they changed it before delivery?
The oil filter set for the Serow 225 looks like this. It comes with an oil filter and 4 O-rings.
The 4 items shown in the image above are included. Replacing them every time feels great.
The Serow 225 has an interesting oil filter. It’s more like a metal mesh than filter paper.
I wonder if it’s the washable type?
The Amazon dent repair tool is amazing.
The tank on this Serow 225 has been dented since I bought it. I’d like to try to pop it out if possible, even if I fail.
Since the timing is right, I bought an Amazon dent repair tool set. The price is very reasonable and it comes with a nice compact sliding hammer. It’s worth buying just for that.
I wish I’d taken better photos. The dent was quite pronounced and seemed shallow, so I thought it would come out.
When I tried it, I was able to pull it out more than I expected. This time I only used the sliding hammer, but it has decent power, so if the paint is weak, it might peel off.
Depending on the situation, the gate-type puller or lever-type tool that also comes with it might be easier to use. I think this tool is convenient just for the sliding hammer alone. If you make custom attachments, you could use it for removing oil seals and such—it’s just the right size.
