This year doesn’t feel much like year-end either. Is it cold? Or not so cold? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, I messed up the parts order, so it should be finished tomorrow (Saturday).
*I forgot the bleeder nipple for the anti-nose dive. (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s better to replace a new piston while it’s still coming out.
Taking measurements ahead of time might come in handy for future reuse ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to inspect the oil seals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCI MR20 Metal Rubber\u2014a product I’d like grease fans to try at least once. <\/a>

You’ll definitely feel the difference: “Wow, it’s this smooth?” It’s a chemical that really delivers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Slide pins with sleeves become smoother when replaced after a certain distance or time. These tend to swell quite a bit and make the action sluggish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade, I’d say… You can feel the ingenuity and creativity. Classic bikes are wonderful.
*The scribbles are mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With banjo double fittings, aluminum washers crush more easily, which means less seeping\u2014that’s a win.
Using copper and aluminum appropriately for the application is the way to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The feel came out way more than expected. I had to adjust the lever position a bit closer… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the Speedgear I took in the other day.
It wouldn’t turn at all, but after soaking for a few days, it finally came to full power today.
Clank! Oh, it’s moving. All’s well that ends well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll remove the muffler and change the engine oil.
With so many classic bikes, oil changes become quite the chore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I used Shell Advance Ultra 4T 15W-50. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t hesitate\u2014if the drain looks dirty, replace it. That’s the better call.
A magnetic one is nice to have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’m not a fan of washers, period.
Acorn nuts with flange serrations are always in stock. (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I also hate cotter pins. They’re dangerous and inefficient.
I used a Honda 16mm one and grooved the nut a little on the lathe.

Once the parts arrive, I can assemble it and we’re done! (*^-^*)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
