It’s pretty standard to leave the bike here while picking up the completed one.
We’ll get it done quickly, so let’s go ahead and work on it first (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The front is worn… so we’ll replace it with the same brand.
TT100GP is always super popular (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For tubed tires, “inserting the tube into the tire first” <\/strong>is super easy.
When I first saw this method, I thought “what have I been pulling all this time?” <\/strong>With this approach,
you don’t need
that wire pulling tool, <\/strong>and the tube won’t get pinched between the tire and wheel. <\/strong>The pulling method is
tedious, requires tools, and increases risk *compared to our method. <\/strong>Everyone has their own way, but I really want you to experience this high efficiency~
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then we pop it in with the changer and we’re done.
Since we’re not using a lever, there’s no pinching. Not that it pinches even if we do use one… ( \uff1b\u2200\uff1b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The studs are pretty worn, so we’ll replace them *always in stock.
You can’t see it, but if it’s not clean, it just doesn’t look sharp… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show some love to the threads… pretty gritty stuff.
Not sure if it’s thread locker or gunk… Smooth installation makes the work more enjoyable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super handy if you’re installing stud bolts~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we add restoration elements to regular maintenance, the bike should stay in good condition longer… (wishful thinking)
This job “takes a lot of time for cleaning and washing” <\/strong>so having an environment where we can finish quickly is crucial.

Clean bolts really do make a difference (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)
We’re using lock nuts and shortened them a bit with Honda OEM parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just to be safe, the axle shaft runout was fine.
We cleaned up the speedometer cable and lubricated it. *It was pretty dry, so we’d like to lubricate it once every two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caliper bolts were disappointing, so we replaced them with Honda OEM ones.
I have no idea how much we have in stock…

Hmm… subtle and cool <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can we hide the Watanabe connector we installed the other day?
No problem, we’ve covered it with mesh.

Now we just need to pass inspection! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gem that might spark your desire to buy… <\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t
