It’s been rainy all week from Monday through Friday…
I guess it was good that we didn’t have any inspection drop-offs this week? We’re waiting for your inspection.
When the line of bikes parked lengthwise in the shop shrinks, I can’t just relax and think “phew, that’s a relief.”
Every day it’s about reducing the line parked sideways.
Hmm.
Let’s start with the front maintenance. The bearing condition wasn’t bad, but there was a lot of gravel and it was dirty, so we’ll go ahead and replace it.
We’re introducing the disassembly and assembly process in a simplified way.
We changed the fork oil. It was in good condition.
There are some deep vertical scratches. We rotated it to a less critical position and it’s still in use.
We stroked it and then used a vacuum to bleed out the air.
*The degree to which it bleeds out properly improves.
The left stopper is really dented and bent…
I’m amazed it hasn’t been contacting the tank.
It’s scary to straighten it out, so we just flattened it minimally.
*We’ll skip the nest underneath.
We applied gun coat to the small parts.
Just by cleaning up the small areas, things get a little bit cleaner.
We polished and cleaned the small areas too.
When regular maintenance includes restoration elements, I think the cleanliness can be sustained steadily.
And if it gets too dirty, affection for it drops too… We want to make sure that during inspections and maintenance work, things go “whoosh!”
We cleaned the bearings and the area.
I think the oil applied to the shaft should be minimal. Applying too much just seeps out and doesn’t do much good.
We cleaned the caliper too. It was a bit greasy.
Cleaning places where hands can’t reach is the technician’s job.
If the owner were here, they’d probably say “let me wipe that a bit,” so we polish with that spirit in mind.
We checked the axle shaft,
cleaned and lubricated the chain,
and cleaned the disc holes and outer disc.
We heard at the training session that it goes “vroom vroom,” so we kept the sprocket as the original steel.
To be continued.
