We have various tools for removal and installation. (To reduce risk.)
The wheel, disk, and fender all said goodbye.
We’re proceeding with a used wheel. (Cheaper Suzuki than repair.)
MEZ M5 tires with plenty of tread that we were thinking of throwing away—we’re giving them to you.
Used fork. We’ll change the fork oil for you.
After that, we bleed the air and adjust the oil level, and we’re done.
This is also used. The seal is peeling off, so we’ll replace the bearings too.
When you apply rust preventative oil and wipe it down thoroughly like this, the rust prevention effect improves somewhat.
The stopper on the left side of the image is peeling up a bit.
The induction heating machine—definitely a contender for this year’s best purchase ranking.
It’s not exactly instant, but it gets hot without using fire and pinpoints the heat, so it’s really convenient.
Then we pull hard and the repair is complete. We paint it afterward.
Once we press in the race, we do a visual check one-two.
Before pressing into the stem, it’s good to check how well the seal works.
Depending on the model, some units work surprisingly well. Once the seal contact develops, it goes from loose to tight. We do this so you don’t get stuck wondering why.
If we’re unlucky and damage it during wheel assembly, the speedometer gear seal dies. We’ve straightened out the bend.
The light isn’t original. When the wiring hole is small or few, it’s better to make more. Forcing it equals easy breakage equals trouble midway equals problems.
Chamfer it excessively and cover it for perfection.
While replacing the handlebar, we made an ETC bracket without a stand.
Center extraction that can’t be made from a single piece.
It can be installed in a subtle position.
We prefer to avoid co-tightening on the handlebar post.
The meter is better placed near the meter.
The handlebar is also replaced and sits lower.
When we quoted the original levers, it was over 4,000 yen.
Wouldn’t some Chinese adjustable ones be better?
We combined the broken lever and a junk lever into one and reused it. Of course, we filed and fitted it.
There are various other things, but it’s become a nice naked bike.
I was thinking of taking it for a test ride… wait… the turn signals aren’t working.
The hazard works, so it’s the switch.
The solder inside had popped off. Case closed! All done.
