We’re quite backed up with outsourced work at the start of the year! (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replating, rear suspension, meter, seat\u2014jobs from 2 weeks to 1 month are light, so scheduling is tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inner tubes came back, so we’re ready to move right along (*’\u25bd’)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Boom! The reliable Toyo Hardening<\/a> The finish is better than new, so we can always rely on them with confidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It’s such quality that anyone would swear it’s brand new (*’\u25bd’)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil seal areas corrode easily.
Cleaning this area thoroughly makes seal installation smooth and prevents re-corrosion of the clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It cleans up quickly. It’s all about the steady accumulation of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Parts to be replaced. There was no compatible SKF option… (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Replace cylinder bolts while they’re available.
Make sure they slide in smoothly for reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We check what we can verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spring with 29\u03c6 outer diameter probably won’t come in again, so we went ahead and checked it anyway, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since last year, we’ve been filling oil seals with fluorine grease.
My prediction is that oil seal life will improve… I hope it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re currently using MOLY KOTE HP-500<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s extremely expensive for general use, but at this price point you tend to use it carefully.
In a way, it’s economical… and it’s important not to treat it carelessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We added fork oil, performed a vacuum bleed, and adjusted the oil level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The axle runout looks good too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
