Without advance reservation, it’s difficult to handle maintenance along with the inspection.
If it’s just simple fluid top-ups, we can barely manage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s amazing\u2014even after 5 years of sitting idle, just replacing the battery gets the engine running. Terrifying, really…
Fuel injection is incredible, even on older bikes (*’\u25bd’) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get this work done quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We’ve replaced the fluid.
By touch, it felt a bit squishy, but that went away as we replaced it\u2014though there might be some gel in there.
The work is complete. (*’\u25bd’)
The tires are in bad shape, so no test ride. After the invoice, we’re all set! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
