The GSX1300BK B-KING had a sense of not quite sweeping the market.
If Suzuki had released it sooner… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deco-mainte + MotoDX plug replacement service<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

The customer wanted the plugs replaced.
Oh! That’s right! I think they released new plugs recently (or was it a while ago?).
After reading the NGK website, I got the impression that they’ve taken iridium technology even further. <\/a>
*People with vehicles that can choose these are lucky… I think wistfully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I check the tire brand, size, manufacturing date, rim width, and wheel runout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll replace the rear disc when the current pads wear out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

The front is no problem (all good). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drive chain is in good condition. After cleaning and lubrication, it’s ready for continued use.
Looking up, I wonder what kind of thinking leads to this… it’s puzzling… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I checked the axle runout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Wheel and tire runout should be no problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheel bearings are being reused with adjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cleaned all three brake calipers. Operation is fine and pad thickness is still plenty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inside of the inverted fork’s inner tubes are prone to rust, so care is needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Inverted forks inevitably get tighter at the front as they’re used.
Unlike conventional forks, you can’t rotate them to hide the wear, so after some use they’ll need re-plating or replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Surprisingly, after polishing, the color turned silver… so we can keep using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I also cleaned the inside of the fender (^_-)-\u2606 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levers and side stand lubricated with grease.
The pedal is aftermarket with bearings, so I lubricated it from the outside with everyone’s favorite Tri-Flow. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to remove parts from all over the place to reach the plugs and air filter.
*Plugs and air filter are charged separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I replaced the plugs with MOTO DX and cleaned the air filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I replaced the brake fluid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I also replaced the coolant. Almost done! (*^-^*) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
