\nIt had been sitting for a little over two years. Motorcycles really do deteriorate quickly when they’re not being ridden.<\/p>\n

First up: carburettor disassembly and parts removal.<\/p>\n

\nThe best approach for motorcycles is basically wiping and cleaning. When you spray water on them, they look clean while wet, but once they dry… well, that’s another story. A good wipe-down is all you really need.<\/p>\n

\nThe exterior is in decent shape.<\/p>\n

\nThe jets are completely shot.<\/p>\n

\nAll the passages are thoroughly clogged.<\/p>\n

\nTime for prep work.<\/p>\n

\nAh, that feels good. Having the right tools saves time and gives a beautiful finish. Everyone’s happy.<\/p>\n

\nNormally we wouldn’t do this, but since NJ injectors run 2,000 yen each\u20148,000 yen per bike\u2014we decided to polish both inside and out and reuse them.<\/p>\n

\nThe dirt won’t come off at all, so we have to soak them in solvent to soften the buildup.
\nThe intake manifold is also seized up, so we’ll need to add parts charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
