Today’s weather is strange and humid… (\u00b4\uff1b\u03c9\uff1b`)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world still isn’t quite back to normal mode.
I’m getting caught up in it and my mood is pretty laid-back…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me get to work on the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ll check the manufacturing date, rim width, and so on.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Michelin tires are rapidly climbing my list of favorite brands.
There’s a lot of talk about them in MotoGP, but that’s a separate matter.

Lightweight, supple, durable, temperature-dependent, handling\u2014they feel like just the right tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the brake disc can be replaced when the current pads wear down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’ll check the wheels and runout.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suzuki’s bearing press fit is on the loose side.
Even a slight impact can move the bearing and make the spacer rattle, so watch out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I checked the axle and lubricated the speedometer cable.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everything is in such good condition that work is progressing smoothly\u2014I’m grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cleaned the brake calipers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Operation is no problem. The pistons have no rust and the condition is very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Replaced the caliper bolts with Yamaha hollow bolts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I really do love steel. The texture is premium. These bolts are Yamaha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lubricated the control systems.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everything is in great condition. I’m really grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I adjusted the front fork to atmospheric pressure and cleaned it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s in such good condition there’s barely any need to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does replacing the spark plug on a carbureted bike boost your peace of mind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I usually replace them anyway. On fuel-injected bikes, the plugs are typically iridium and burned clean, so I think you can just go by mileage and age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air filter cleaning and Plexus cleaning.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The air filter was pretty dirty, so I washed it anyway.
I sprayed Plexus under the tank and polished it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuse reused. Battery charged.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fuse looks like it was replaced before, so I’m reusing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I replaced the fluid.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All that’s left is the inspection and test ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
