I learned from an expert somewhere that Honda shift rubbers (rubber?) are cheap and good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


95011-40000 50 yen before tax… 8\u03c6
Starting today, I’m going to swap them out like crazy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ll do a quick one-two-three cleaning around the petcock.

You don’t need to wipe that hard\u2014just a light wipe will lift your spirits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’ll scrub the key slot too for rust prevention. I’m hoping it’ll slide in a bit more smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oil was still well-preserved. The throttle area is in great shape too, so I’m relieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The fuse box location is… you can’t access it without tools.

Hmm, it’s very modern, I’d say…

I mean, a blown fuse is pretty much unheard of these days…

I guess it can’t be helped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cleaned and lubricated the side stand too.

Replace the lock nut every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pedal area is disassembled and lubricated too. The oil was still well-preserved, so I’m relieved.

Even the removed parts get a light wipe\u2014it’s kind of a “deep clean.”

I hope it runs better, but even if it’s cleaner, the performance might not improve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honda 95011-40000 50 yen before tax… 8\u03c6 for most bikes, I’d say.

Meanwhile, Kijima charges 400 yen. Whether you know this or not… the rabbit hole goes deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should have ordered an air filter… this one needs replacing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I’ll replace the spark plugs too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I swapped the fluid to Golden Cruiser DOT4. <\/a>
Even with moisture absorption, performance degrades gradually\u2014durability matters for street riding.

Racing fluid feels great too, but I think it’s worth comparing different options.
A typical one is Brembo LCF-600 PLUS <\/strong> <\/a>. It might be fun to compare degradation against these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was kind of gummy. Bolts should ideally be replaced with new ones every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also charged the battery. After the oil and filter change, we’re done.
