Daido and Sunstar have absolute, unwavering reliability.
I believe that good products maintain their good condition for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are rare cases of short lifespan, and there’s also an appeal in that “razor-sharp cutting edge” quality that exists in the world, so it’s good to choose based on your intended use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, since this owner rides an incredible distance, various parts were rusted. I gave them a fresh coat with Gun Coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the owner performs chain maintenance diligently themselves, the wear on the previous Sunstar aluminum sprocket was gentle, and I’ve learned from the usage history that “lifespan can be extended through proper use and maintenance.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re someone who secures the tank rim rubber on both sides, this is a must-see.
Since it’s metal-reinforced rim rubber, you can secure it physically. You can expand or contract it to fit the thickness of the opening, so it’s extremely effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It works great on tank rims, screens, and vibration damping at cowl contact points\u2014the possibilities are endless. Suzuki part number 94631-44110. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a pain to remove, and I thought it’d be fine if I didn’t, but sure enough it started seeping…
right.
I removed it using a brand new method.

This might just bring a fresh breeze to old gasket removal.
See you again soon on YouTube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hear “gasoline-resistant,” you might think of a semi-cured type, but this one hardens properly, so it’s reassuring. I really like the small individual packets\u2014just the right amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe I’ll finally finish tomorrow… but it looks like rain.

If it rains, I can’t do the regular inspection either… which means deliveries and work pile up again this week too…
