\nThe parts have arrived, so let’s get them installed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"P1620131\"
\nWhen doing a caliper overhaul, unless it’s really necessary, a piston set is actually the better deal.
\nOnce you do it, it’ll hold up really well for a long time.<\/p>\n

\"P1620058\"
\nWe’ve already done the prep work the other day, so now it’s just assembly.<\/p>\n

\"P1620134\" \"P1620133\"<\/del>
\nThe piston cups have shrunk and debris has accumulated. The initial soft, spongy feel will drop dramatically.<\/p>\n

\"P1620135\" \"P1620136\"
\nSorry for the single-hand calipers. Since it’s brake work, don’t trust the outer diameter and length specs\u2014verify them yourself even though they’re new.<\/p>\n

\nNot only does the overhaul improve performance, but the appearance gets better too, which makes you want to take better care of it.<\/p>\n

\"P1620137\"
\nWe gave the springs a light polish, so they’ve regained their shine.<\/p>\n

\"P1620141\"
\nWe replaced the caliper bolts with Yamaha ones.<\/p>\n

\"P1620139\" \"P1620140\"
\nBoth sides bled and fluid changed\u2014Deco-mainte is complete.<\/p>\n

\"P1620154\"
\nNext is the Newtech oil change.<\/p>\n

\"P1620155\"
\nWhile we’re waiting for the muffler to come off.<\/p>\n

\"P1620159\"<\/p>\n

\nJust lightly, but you can recall how it was assembled when it was brand new.
\nOnce it becomes used and gets dirty, handling naturally gets rougher\u2014that’s just how it goes. It’s nice to remember where you started.<\/p>\n

Working at this pace means we can’t handle high volume. Going forward, Decoboco is shifting toward higher quality and better content while reducing the number of jobs we take on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
