Z1000MK2 Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection

So here’s the Saitama Racing Z1000MK2.
They brought it in yesterday but now they’re asking for it back by the weekend—totally unreasonable.
And since Friday is rainy, they have to drop it off today, Thursday…
 

 
If we don’t go direct-to-battery, it’s under 10,000 candlepower.
The light rim got bent from the crash, so the left-right adjustment won’t work.
 

 
Going direct-to-battery, we can easily hit 20,000 without even starting the engine—25,000 with it running.
But that’s not the only problem, so we’re spending the whole morning on it.
 

 
Well, we got it done without issues.
Old bikes are tough, especially Z models.
“Hold on a second”—what are they checking? The manufacturing date on the horn?
“Oh, the font…”
It’s an import with an unknown model designation, so the maker won’t provide font documentation.
But hand-stamped bikes have been flooding the market forever.
Lately the inspection stations are cracking down on it too.
Of course, once they catch it,
you can never pass a renewal inspection again—straight to racer status.
This isn’t soba noodles—hand-stamping is not cool, yo★
Man, now I’m remembering someone else’s bike.
