Let’s perform oil-cooled maintenance.
The shift seal was leaking, so I replaced it and sealed it with NC100 for moisture retention.
The engine damper showed some wear as well. It should firm up nicely.
The front engine mount should be cleaned of rust and installed so there’s no excessive stress on it.
The generator damper was also hard and worn, with considerable play.
Basically, there’s no cam scuffing and the condition is clean. I got the impression that oil changes have been done regularly.
The images are out of order, but I’ve synchronized the carburetors.
I don’t expect dramatic performance gains from oil-cooled maintenance and other work or service.
However, if the bike is running rough, you’ll definitely notice a significant improvement.
Conversely, if there are no particular issues and the condition is already good, the noticeable improvement will likely be minimal. I don’t think it’s a good idea to disassemble everything and replace parts indiscriminately. Taking into account the owner’s usage patterns, budget, and other factors, I believe it’s important to carefully consider everything so nothing goes wrong. Within that approach, I make it a point to think every day about how to achieve even a 1% improvement in the same assembly and to carry out the work with that mindset.
