The GS1000 is pretty nice, isn’t it?
If it were a Katana, maybe, but I’d skip the GS1000!
That’s how I’m crushing dreams here.
Basically it’s an export model
Compatibility with the domestic GS750 is extremely low
Weak OEM parts supply and reproduction parts availability
Scarcity of used parts
You really need serious commitment
to keep it going.
I understand how strong the Z’s appeal is.
Anyway, let’s start with the tire change.
The tires are Dunlop Alpha14
It’s the standard item for 18-inch wheels.
A technique for removing the hollow shaft
Insert a long screwdriver
and pull out just the shaft.
It helps prevent the collar from falling off.
Safe and gentle?
I went to Hokkaido this year, you know~
That’s amazing!
They brought all the spare parts with them
Impressive…
I cleaned the inside thoroughly too.
The wheel bearings are suspicious *especially the hub
More loose than smooth? Rattling
Let’s replace them.
I taped the distance collar
to mark it.
I’ve been using it for decades without taking it off! Time for a refresh!
Seven holes are cool…
Maybe I’m at an age where I’m into odd numbers
Swapping the disc bolts for steel ones too
I really like steel.
The texture and tightening feel are reassuring, you know?
We had stock available, so today
I only replaced the rear wheel.
The inside of the wheel gets
Plexus coating
Next time I hope to think “Oh! ”
It would be nice if it shows results.
Since it’s expensive, the effect should be high too.
ポチップ
The axle shaft runout is no problem.
Let’s remove the front disc and check it too!
I’d like to replace the front wheel bearings too…
but…
It’s a bit of an obscure part number
Three options!
① KOYO DG1742RS 17*42*13
Domestic distribution is thin. Looking for this one
② Suzuki OEM 09262-17034
Use this one *probably single-sided seal
③ Marchesini replacement parts B174213
Use this one *probably double-sided
Price: ② < ① < ③
③ is the leading option at 7,700 yen/piece
Well, I won’t replace it again anyway
So I won’t skimp
I erased all the handwriting. With P-TOUCH
Mark disc rotation, final drive, and cautions
It should help next time and beyond
It also gives it a somewhat professional look
and might be twice as fun.
I definitely recommend getting a P-TOUCH for the enjoyment
