Self-Point Maintenance 20P request.
The original clear coat was air urethane. Since we’re near the ocean, it started to get moldy, so I repainted it with two-part urethane using a spray gun.
I’ll oil the shift pedal side. The grease from last time is still there, which is reassuring.
I thought it was nice that both sides come off with a snap ring.
The brake side looks good too.
While the plate is off, I’ll spray some rust preventative oil and wipe it down to boost rust protection.
Let’s keep it in good shape for as long as possible.
I’ll clean the rear caliper. It’s in pretty good condition, which I appreciate. The aluminum pistons are reassuring.
After washing, I’ll spray rust preventative oil and wipe it down to maintain both rust protection and appearance.
I’ll wash the pads with steam and dry them instantly. The pad thickness is still good.
The disc is getting grooved, so it might be time to replace it soon.
I’ll clean both the left and right front calipers. The pistons are working smoothly. With aluminum pistons, there’s no rust at all.
There are three fluid tanks and the calipers are dual, so I replaced fluid at four locations.
The fluid is CCI Golden Cruiser DOT4.
I disassembled and cleaned the throttle sleeve. Let’s oil the accelerator cable too.
I’ll apply a minimal oil film to the handlebar to help prevent wear on the handlebar side. I can’t recommend over-applying or using grease.
Fluid replacement: front calipers ×2 / clutch ×1 / rear caliper ×1 = 4 × 2P = 8P
Caliper cleaning: front ×2 / rear ×1 = 3 × 2P = 6P
Pedals 3P × 2 = 6P
Throttle oiling 2P
A bit over, so it comes to 22P.
I think the control systems and brake areas are important.
