I split this up because it got long (*´ω`*)
Quick reads keep people from bouncing
or at least that’s the hope
I’ll do maintenance (*´ω`*)


Tire manufacturing date check
It’s essential when buying a used bike.



Brake disc thickness
Everything looks good!
The rear disc is a bench model though…
Does OEM even make these??
If the dimensions match, there’s no real reason for the bench version


The air filter and spark plug are new
so we’ll reuse them.

Yamaha’s speed wire is awesome!
The cable itself is solid
I want to tighten it with a real “click!”
14 mm does the trick.

I also lubricated the speed wire.


The axle shaft should be fine.


The bearings should be fine.


Wheel bearing
Different makers and models have different specs.
It’s not just swap and done
There’s also right-side and left-side standards.
Checking the manual is essential.
*Sure, it’ll run anyway
but once you replace it, you want 100% performance
right?

We cleaned the fender underside with no-touch spray.
Truly a universal chemical
You really want to have this on hand.

Check that the shaft slides in smoothly.

Wheel and tire runout—no issues


On the clutch side
I installed a master float.
Prevents the pssshhh!

I also changed the rear fluid (*´ω`*)



Cleaning the calipers.
Everything was spotless—I was shocked!
The piston action should be fine


This toothbrush is amazing!
Lately I can’t imagine using anything else.
The bristles are so dense it cleans really well
Barely any splashing
The bristles don’t splay easily so it lasts longer
Because it’s a hobby
I want to use the right tools
Please do (*´ω`*)

Almost there (*´ω`*)
