Just like “Holeshot Device Engaged” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, setting that aside….
The stormy spring season is upon us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news for the motorcycle industry? “Should we raise prices before Golden Week?” <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know I’ll probably get told not to write such things…

Transportation and hotels also switch to seasonal pricing, right?
Book early and you get “savings,” <\/strong> but rush bookings get “surcharges,” <\/strong> and nobody complains about that…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t you think all the systems in this industry are stuck in the 20th century? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So the Nitron has been brought in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, there’s a lot of tedious work involved in the middle that customers don’t realize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free notebook\/Spring rate\/Upper and lower mounting\/Stroke\/Interference check
Especially with bikes that are somewhat old, monoshocks are…. well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just looking at it, the stroke is often different.
Due to the body configuration, you actually can’t make them the same.

What? Remove both springs and check full stroke? ….
Nope. Even if we did, there’s nothing we could do about it anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These days it’s pretty convenient, huh? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wonderful system that moves freely without losing pressure or leaking.
With the old fixed-type shocks, you wouldn’t believe how forcefully the reservoirs had to be mounted….

There are surprisingly many things that only the person who did the work knows about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Protecting the area so it doesn’t get scratched makes it look more professional…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll remove the OEM “spray band” (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The accessories were normal (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) So happy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’re reusing the bolts, so I’ve cleaned them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Putting heat shrink tubing on the hose clamp makes it look a bit cooler?
It should also help prevent scratches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After much deliberation about right or left, I’ve decided to switch to the right this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tank is 750cc? It looks like fuel is leaking from around the fuel sensor….
I’ll check on that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
