Let’s change the engine oil and crank it well to check.
It’s nicely jet black.
I polished it up a bit.
An overseas moth got mixed in. It’s a good washable type.
Three calipers. It might be worth doing an OH and checking them.
Even a 1% improvement in smoothness and cleanliness makes me happy.
I don’t usually take it apart—it’s scary. But it looks fine. I went ahead and lubricated it anyway. (front and rear)
Even the fine details are clean and smooth
The side stand—possibly the first time it’s been removed.
The forced open-close mechanism from this era is convenient and nice.
The #4 adjust screw has no grooves. I managed to turn it with pliers.
All the cables are new. I’ll throw in the lever holder.
I’ve checked everything else. There’s no doubt it was in pretty sharp condition.
Scheduled to be done next week—thanks for your patience!
