Today a high-pressure hose snapped and I lost about three hours…

It’s 20:41 now, so it should have been 17:41, and I’ve been thinking about that the whole time.
Well, let’s think positive…

I’ll continue steadily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I also polished the pad back plate and cleaned it up nicely.
That’s when the hose snapped.

It’s a relief it happened before the carburettor (separate issue). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pads will be replaced with RK-MAX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll replace all the parts around the rear caliper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s replace the air filter this time too.
I’ve marked it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cleaned and lubricated the control systems.
Smooth-operating controls feel really nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I also cleaned and lubricated the side stand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake fluid has been replaced with Golden Cruiser DOT4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After fluid replacement, fluid residue remains inside the nipple and on the threaded parts, so if you hold a rag over it and then clean with cleaner, I think you won’t damage the paint.

If fluid remaining on the threaded parts gets capped, I think it might bubble up from the pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spark plug was surprisingly dark, so I replaced it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also adjusted the synchronization a bit.

Sometimes even if the gauges match, there can be slight variations depending on the bike.
In those cases, I think it’s fine to adjust where the sound feels best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huh? The tachometer isn’t working.

Now that you mention it, that’s right… I thought to myself, come on, remember that already.
We’re almost done, just a little bit left. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
