Man, it’s so hot out there! What’s going on?
Motorcycles break down in this heat, seriously.
Continuing on.

The slide valve looks like it’s still holding up fine, so that’s a relief.

When I clean out the gunk with a thin model-kit cotton swab, it seems to run about 2.6% better.

The float valve is also in good shape.
I usually send TMR work out, so it feels like forever since I’ve taken one apart.
If only Suzuki would sell the V-seal as a standalone part—I wouldn’t have to wait months for it.

I’ll swap out the spark plug too.

After balancing the carburetors, the carb work is done.

I was shocked at how filthy the air filter was—unbelievable.
