\nLet’s perform Deco-mainte.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nStarting from the rear. The chain looks like it’s the original from when the bike was new. I think it’s about time to replace it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe’ll make sure to clean the spots that can only be cleaned when removed.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nI’ve adjusted the bearings.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe tire runout and balance are no problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe rear axle shaft is often bent. Since the manufacturer’s tolerance is quite large, we consider it OK up to the limit.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nI’ve polished and cleaned the caliper support.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’ve cleaned the rear caliper too. It has some dirt and rust that stand out.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMoving to the front. No runout or balance issues.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nCleaning and lubricating the speedometer gear and inner cable. It won’t have a dramatic effect, but I think every little bit helps.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe axle shaft is no problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe wheel bearings are no problem.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nI’ve cleaned the caliper too. Brembo’s gold really shows the dirt.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThe stroke areas get lubrication and cleaning; the upper side gets cleaning and rust prevention. Ideally, we want to keep the inner tubes working for a long time.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’ll set the fork to atmospheric pressure.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe air filter was clean.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe side stand is really important. Just having smooth deployment and retraction gives peace of mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCleaning and lubricating the throttle cable and sleeve. It was clean.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe accelerator cable was touching the cowl, and that contact felt a bit off, so I’ve suspended it with a bungee cord.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThe pedal is sealed, so I’ve lubricated it from the outside.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’ve cleaned all three brake discs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nFluid is Golden Cruiser DOT4<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’ve adjusted the synchronization. You don’t need to be overly fussy about it.
\nIt’s fixed by screw and spring tension. The point is it’s easy to come loose.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nI apologize, but since I’m not a fan and serviceability is often poor, I’ve removed all the shared ground connections.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nA relay from a certain brand.
\nIt’s so thick it’s hard to say what gauge it is, making it difficult to use. Honestly, I don’t know what brand it is, so reliability is low. Electrical issues are really troublesome when they happen, so it’s good to use quality parts.<\/p>\n

I basically use Mitsuba Sankowa power relay RC-2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt might be better to avoid using fuses like this if possible.<\/p>\n

\u2022 They have height and thickness.
\n\u2022 They’re not waterproof.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Motorcycles always have limited space for layout. I think it’s best to use parts that are compact, simple, reliable, and unlikely to cause trouble.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"
\nEngine oil is Newtech NC50 10W-50 and filter
\nI’ve changed the drain to a magnetic 17mm wrench flat.<\/p>\n
