A hugely popular bike in the three-cylinder series.
I really like three-cylinders, actually. The first time I rode one was a Triumph Speed Triple, and I got the impression it had a really nice feel to it.
I’m basically not a fan of singles and twins. As for three-cylinders, I think the expression “a middle ground between two-cylinder and four-cylinder” really hits the mark.
First up, we’ll charge the battery the same way.
Since it can also be used to charge cars, it’s really handy.
We’ll lubricate the control systems and side stand from the outside. What I always use is Bell Hammer (red) . It’s a lubricant I trust.
Let’s clean the chain area thoroughly and adjust it after lubrication.
We replaced the air filter.
Removing clips like this during work really boosts your peace of mind.
Oh! Just thinking about it ending up inside the engine… it’s scary.
Cutting corners gets you nowhere!
The customer wanted to replace the plugs they brought… but the protrusion is low. I wondered about that and poked around on the Denso website.
Yeah, it’s fine. (Since it’s not listed, I checked the same engine type.)
The TRACER900 is the same way… the plug cap is so tight it’s a real hassle.
Even though I work at a shop and can remove it, it’s still pretty scary.
We apply a little silicone oil to make it smooth.
Lately, coolant from all the makers is blue.
When ours runs out, maybe we’ll switch to blue too… it feels cooler, doesn’t it?
The rubber part was deteriorated, so we replaced the radiator cap.
It’s an NTK P541A.
We’ll clean all the calipers and check the piston operation.
Cleaning the pad springs and such makes things feel nice for the next service.
We replaced the brake fluid with CCI Golden Cruiser DOT4.
I hate the 040 3P connector.
Maybe it’s shared with a model that has position?
If you mark it with a marker, you can plug it in right away.
All done!
