Suzuki’s exhaust gasket is the best! It won’t come loose thanks to those burrs on the outer edge!
Moving on to the front. We’ll do our usual cleaning.
This fit perfectly! Peace of mind.
The front was also loose, so we adjusted it.
Let’s clean the back of the fender too.
Places the owner can’t reach are our job.
The calipers and pistons aren’t in bad shape, but the operation is a bit stiff. I think an OH would be good next time.
When the appearance gets clean, it suddenly looks rejuvenated.
We’ll clean and rust-proof the fork area.
Let’s open this up and expose it to atmospheric pressure too.
We’ll remove the levers and pedals, clean them, and oil them. It’s unglamorous work, but it keeps things in good condition for longer.
Spray rust-proof oil on the inside we removed, wipe it down, and it comes out clean.
Remove the side stand and oil it too. Smooth mounting and dismounting feels great.
We’ll clean and degrease the left, right, and rear disc holes and surfaces.
We’re replacing the fluid with Golden Cruiser DOT 4.
The air filter should be replaced based on age or mileage.
Even if it looks clean at first glance, it’s bound to be pretty clogged.
We’ll clean and oil the throttle too.
We changed the engine oil and filter.
The exhaust pipe spring was broken, so we removed the muffler and replaced it.
We were surprised by how poorly the Akrapovic was fitted this time.
