This year doesn’t feel much like year-end either. Is it cold? Or not so cold?
As usual, I messed up the parts order, so it should be finished tomorrow (Saturday).
*I forgot the bleeder nipple for the anti-nose dive. (‘ω’)ノ
It’s better to replace a new piston while it’s still coming out.
Taking measurements ahead of time might come in handy for future reuse ideas.
Don’t forget to inspect the oil seals.
CCI MR20 Metal Rubber—a product I’d like grease fans to try at least once.
You’ll definitely feel the difference: “Wow, it’s this smooth?” It’s a chemical that really delivers.
Slide pins with sleeves become smoother when replaced after a certain distance or time. These tend to swell quite a bit and make the action sluggish.
Homemade, I’d say… You can feel the ingenuity and creativity. Classic bikes are wonderful.
*The scribbles are mine.
With banjo double fittings, aluminum washers crush more easily, which means less seeping—that’s a win.
Using copper and aluminum appropriately for the application is the way to go.
The feel came out way more than expected. I had to adjust the lever position a bit closer…
This is the Speedgear I took in the other day.
It wouldn’t turn at all, but after soaking for a few days, it finally came to full power today.
Clank! Oh, it’s moving. All’s well that ends well!
I’ll remove the muffler and change the engine oil.
With so many classic bikes, oil changes become quite the chore.
This time I used Shell Advance Ultra 4T 15W-50.
Don’t hesitate—if the drain looks dirty, replace it. That’s the better call.
A magnetic one is nice to have.
I’m not a fan of washers, period.
Acorn nuts with flange serrations are always in stock. (‘ω’)ノ
I also hate cotter pins. They’re dangerous and inefficient.
I used a Honda 16mm one and grooved the nut a little on the lathe.
Once the parts arrive, I can assemble it and we’re done! (*^-^*)
