\nWe’re partway through the Deco-mainte.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nWe’ll start with the front. Cleaning and lubricating the speedometer gear and cable.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt might improve a bit.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe axle is straight with no bending\u2014good news.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWe’ll polish and paint the areas that can be cleaned up nicely.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe bearings look fine\u2014no issues. *The truth is, it’s rare to find problems with them. Bearings are really excellent components, aren’t they?<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"
\nWe cleaned the caliper. The piston action was at a decent level.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAfter washing, spray on rust-preventive oil and wipe it off. This should help resist rust and deterioration.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nThe wear is pretty uneven and sharp. It’s best to replace the pads along with the disc.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nDuring regular inspections, it’s a good idea to clean around the disc holes. There’s more dust buildup than you’d expect. After that, spray brake cleaner and scrub thoroughly\u2014the disc will shine right up. You’ll get that nice crisp brake sound too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLift the dust seal, apply fork oil, and scrub away. Quite a bit of dirt comes out. It’s cleaning and rust prevention combined with lubrication.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBetween the top and bottom, lightly wipe and spread rust-preventive oil. It should help resist rust.<\/p>\n
