Without removing the carbs! Thoughtful design that allows maintenance… or so I think (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like everything else,“it’s a pain to remove when it’s seized up”<\/strong>
I’m not sure what comes next,but I want to work with “the future in mind.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drained the coolant. Bikes with drain plugs are the best, right? \u266a

Bikes without them do exist, so I find myself thinking… wow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Once removed,it was in “oh wow” condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with this, it doesn’t leak… I was genuinely impressed as a cautionary tale (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll replace the thermostat too since it’s probably going anyway.
Man, it’s dirty…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It’s probably not an O-ring… some other material?
Liquid… whoosh…

It doesn’t leak! (Amazing!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll gently finish each part and assemble them.
By the way, even if I clean it up, the performance won’t… really improve. Probably.

It just feels better when it’s clean. That’s the only reason I do this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll also replace the parts around the carb heater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hose clamp is a masterpiece: “Norma”<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s better to avoid ones with grooves as much as possible.
With lots of grooves,“excess material”<\/strong>gets into the intake manifold, and you sometimes see people like that…

Oh!“For irrigation”<\/strong>they’ll say! So be careful.

With Norma, it’s harder to damage the other side, and it prevents groove breakage and torque loss from deformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, a test ride and invoice, and we’re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)Here’s this time’s hose clamp.<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t
