Even though it’s water-cooled, the engine has fins\u2014a time when creative spirit was overflowing…

The OH scheduling went smoothly, but…
the parts scheduling wasn’t quite right.

According to the parts list it’s an external dust seal type. I ordered the same, but… wait, that’s not right.

In the meantime, I discovered something. I’m going to throw in an aluminum piston on my own.
It’s the Kawasaki I mentioned the other day. The price is reasonable too, so I’m grateful~ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This genuine dual integrated clip Suzuki 69142-46E01
improves serviceability and prevents loss, so it’s very effective.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also did some light deburring on the front pads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
