\"p1620610\"
\nThe parts have arrived, so let’s continue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"p1620608\"
\nWell, we could just keep two keys and use them as is, but\u2026
\nCarrying two keys feels wasteful. Let’s transplant the cylinder.<\/p>\n

\"p1620609\"
\nThe bottom is a lock plate held in place by spring tension. Push it in and pull, and it slides right out.<\/p>\n

\"p1620610\"
\nI polished it a bit and swapped them over.<\/p>\n

\"p1620601\" \"p1620602\"
\nWe’ll replace the petcock with a new one too. Let’s clean the surface first before assembly.<\/p>\n

\"p1620603\"
\nA copper gasket on the flange cap is the safe choice.<\/p>\n

\"p1620604\" \"p1620605\"
\nThe sensor is dead, so I cut it out.<\/p>\n

\"p1620606\" \"p1620607\"
\nIt’s dirty, so let’s polish and install it.<\/p>\n

\"p1620611\" \"p1620612\"
\nThe chain and sprocket replacement is complete. I’ll check the inner width and set it to a close value.<\/p>\n

\"p1620613\"
\nThis year model uses two beta pins. With the 1200 series, it becomes a slightly more convenient pin, so I’ll use that.<\/p>\n

\"p1620614\" \"p1620616\"
\nContinuing with Deco-mainte. The pedal is stiff too. Since it’s treated with Teflon, it works fine without lubrication. If there’s oil, it provides rust protection, so let’s apply some.<\/p>\n

\"p1620619\" \"p1620617\"
\nBrembo levers rust easily, but this one looks pretty good. After polishing, there’s minimal play, so I reused it.<\/p>\n

\"p1620620\"
\nThe filter turns pitch black the moment you put it in. It must not have been cleaned in ages.<\/p>\n

\"p1620621\"
\nThe throttle is\u2026 round? That’s unusual.<\/p>\n

\"p1620624\"
\nFirst time seeing one.<\/p>\n

\"p1620625\" \"p1620626\"\"p1620627\"\"p1620628\"\"p1620629\"
\nThat’s a pretty old holder. There’s no OFF stopper, so I added one.
\nWith a stopper, you get a solid “click!” when you turn it OFF. Plus, the throttle play is no longer just balanced by return spring, so the feel improves.<\/p>\n

\"p1620630\"
\nThe tank rust was severe, so let’s check the carburettor too.<\/p>\n

\"p1620631\" \"p1620632\"
\nAt first glance, it looks pretty rough.<\/p>\n

\"p1620633\"
\nThere was a suspicious smell, and I was right\u2014three out of four are broken.<\/p>\n

\"p1620635\" \"p1620636\"
\nWhile I had them out,<\/p>\n

\"p1620637\" \"p1620639\"
\nI polished them. I think they’ll resist corrosion better than buffing.<\/p>\n

\"p1620640\" \"p1620641\"
\nThere was some powder rust inside.<\/p>\n

\"p1620644\"
\nI’ll just replace the O-ring on the float valve. If we replace that, we shouldn’t get overflow.<\/p>\n

\"p1620645\"
\nLet’s feel the rubber elasticity of the taper and check it. Anything too hard gets rejected.<\/p>\n

\"p1620646\" \"p1620647\"
\nAfter that, check if the rear pin springs back, and we’re good.<\/p>\n

\"p1620648\" \"p1620649\"
\nJR9B, huh? I’ll drop the heat range to JR8B.<\/p>\n

\"p1620650\" \"p1620651\"
\nThe stand was pretty sticky too.<\/p>\n

\"p1620652\" \"p1620654\" \"p1620653\"
\nWe’ll replace the fluid and call it a day.<\/p>\n
