Yesterday I was troubled by that characteristic old-bike vibration with a high-pitched whine… (\uff1b\u2200\uff1b)
I’ve test-ridden it so many times…

I tried adding weights and various other things, but they weren’t very effective.
In the end, when I wrapped two bands like those used on Kawasaki H2s and pressed them against the bracket, lo and behold\u2014it was quite a bit better! It might be a subtle but worthwhile recommendation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Now let’s get into maintenance. The tires were still in fresh condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the current pad wear is gone, we’ll need a disc replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I opened the fork caps to ventilate, clean, lubricate, and apply rust protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The chain is still in good shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The wheel runout looks fine too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The axle shaft was also in good condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The wheel bearings were in good condition too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

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

The caliper condition was so-so. It might be worth doing an OH (overhaul) when the time comes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Let’s lubricate the throttle cable too (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’ve lubricated the control systems too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I replaced the fluid with Golden Cruiser DOT4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The customer had someone help them out the other day, so I replaced it right away (free of charge). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’m using Shell Advance 15W-50 for the engine oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The customer requested that I replace the rear cowl molding.
It’s really hard to install and I don’t like using chemical adhesive, so I went with my usual molding instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Now back to the dashcam. I need to make sure it’s okay when turning the handlebars left and right… and that the upper cowl comes off easily…

Otherwise you’ll have a bad time, so I’m being extra careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shape-memory braided tubing Denka Electron FLM-FR Tubing FLM-12FR <\/a>
To put it simply, it’s a high-end gel tubing type.
It’s also sold on Monotaro. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Inside this are the front camera, GPS, and hand control switch wires.
If you’re not particular about it, using gel tubing is a good option (*^-^*) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FLR-40, 1 roll (1 meter) <\/a> This is a braided tubing with a peel-off backing.
Sometimes connectors and wiring get messy and annoying, right? You can hide them neatly and easily, so it’s quite effective.
The downside is that it’s somewhat pricey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

When you buy the D-UNIT+, always replace the fuse.
Usually one breaks just from pulling it out… Be careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All done! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
