The definition of OH is tricky, isn’t it…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do you even OH something when small parts aren’t being supplied anymore?
You can’t say that. There are all sorts of vexing realities here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The meter specialist sent it out and it came back (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Katana’s meter needles bend and break (*’\u25bd’)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They’re supplied as repro parts, so that’s a huge help…
I’ve been thinking lately that if you’re going to ride a classic, it might as well be a masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We really appreciate getting accurate work reports (*’\u25bd’)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They’re replacing the capacitor and diode with an eye toward the future.
That’s really helpful~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Now let’s put it back together.
The socket has a groove, so be sure to clear it.

The meter bracket is super close, so you’ll rub it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We’re in the camp that removes lock washers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For something this size, maybe M4 is okay? But basically the part count goes up and the benefit is almost zero, so we fix it with a flanged bolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

On the gear section, we go with fluorine grease ( \uff9f\u0414\uff9f)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s pricey, but it’s an absolutely wonderful grease. An indispensable gem.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Make sure to clean the inside of the meter case thoroughly too~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The fuel tank damper was crumbling, so we replaced it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve swapped the engine oil for the specified type.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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

We’ve done a complete front and rear brake fluid change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We’re currently checking it.
Please bring the fuel tank down. Absolutely…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
