Inspection and self-point maintenance work requested.
First, we’ll clean the calipers on both sides. Brembo’s cast calipers tend to accumulate dust easily and show dirt readily.
When removing the calipers, checking the brake fittings gives you peace of mind—confidence goes way up.
It rarely happens, but unless it breaks clean off, the hydraulic pressure won’t drain all at once. We check for cracks and such. This bend mark was something we wanted to report.
Below the under-bracket, we lubricate with fork oil and clean. It’s good to feel by hand whether rust is rough and bumpy.
Between the top and under sections, apply rust-preventive oil to guard against corrosion.
Just apply and wipe off—that’s enough to resist rust really well.
We also cleaned the chain and performed lubrication and adjustment.
Steering operation check. Wiring and cables around the handlebar can rub and cause problems, so it’s good to check those too.
Remove the throttle, clean it, and apply lubricant.
Clutch release lubrication. The condition looks good.
If the drive sprocket nut loosens, you’ll sometimes hear a clicking sound when you spin the rear wheel. Sure enough, it was loose, so we replaced it.
Using new lock nuts and washers whenever possible makes a real difference in peace of mind.
• Bend the lock washer as flush as possible
• Bend the lock washer in two places
Surprisingly, this works perfectly.
The clutch lock nut and drive sprocket nut around the countershaft experience repeated power on/off cycles, so they tend to loosen easily. It’s good to physically lock them without damaging the shaft so they stay secure.
We adjusted the synchronization
and cleaned the air filter to complete the work.
