Rain, rain, rain\u2026 The good and the bad.

The good: not many customers show up. We can push back incoming work. Progress moves forward.

The bad: we can’t deliver bikes.

Rain is expected to get heavier this year too\u2026 Maybe we need to stock up on rain gear now? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We replaced the engine damper. The later-model type improves workability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy an oil-cooled bike (up to GSF1200), you might want to check the alternator connector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We removed the alternator and cleaned underneath. We also replaced the damper at the same time.
It was showing some wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We lightly polished it with an electric drill fitted with a stainless steel brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

With a solid damper, the engine sound should become a bit smoother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spark plug color is excellent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This media is great! I’ve already ordered different grits.

Our shop’s equipment is always cutting-edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We applied Guncoat to the bolts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cam condition is good, and the inside of the head was clean. Reassuring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We synchronized the carburetors and improved idle stability.
Next up is the ETC antenna relocation and USB to finish.
