Tasting that familiar feeling of never-ending work…
Oh, what should I do? How should I do it? I keep stopping to think about the details.
Oh well, maybe I’ll just connect it roughly… But still, I keep worrying about it. Late August with endless concerns. (‘ω’)ノ
First thing this morning… the breather outlet direction on the oil-cooled engine is the worst.
The GU74, GR71, and GR77 are straight, so they’re easy to work with, but the GV73 and 1200 are tricky.
The GV73 especially has a tight space under the tank, so the breather piping is a bit of a pain.
I bent some stainless steel pipe to the same inner diameter.
A pipe bender is so handy! It’s one of those moments when you really appreciate having the right tools.
I disassembled and lubricated the lever and pedal.
Aftermarket steps—it’s a common problem. Most of them are deformed and don’t work right.
I used the lathe to take off a layer and correct it.
Without machinery, there’s no way to handle this kind of thing.
Sorry to those who like button head bolts, but I don’t like button heads or tapered heads.
The heads deform easily, and with button heads the tool size drops by one size, which is a bit inconvenient. I replaced them all with trivalent black. (‘ω’)ノ
I also disassembled and lubricated the side stand.
Looking at dirty parts, I always see angels and demons… (ΦωΦ)
Though you can’t see them, it feels good to clean things up.
For the oil change, I used Shell Advance Ultra 4T 15W-50.
I also replaced the drain bolt.
The new(?) fuel petcock is very… well, slightly improved.
GSX-R owners should get one while they’re still available. ( ﾟДﾟ)
Almost done. Just checking left. (‘ω’)ノ
