\nLet’s perform Deco-mainte.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"P1610758_R\"
\nThe wheel bearings should be fine as they are.<\/p>\n

\"P1610759_R\"
\nWe’ll clean the brake discs thoroughly since we only get the chance to do this at times like these.<\/p>\n

\"P1610760_R\"
\nFork cleaning. It’s important not to pry it open with a flathead screwdriver. The bottom case will end up with unfortunate scratches.
\nSlide it up and down to check for stiffness, then oil and clean it, confirm it moves smoothly, and reinstall it.<\/p>\n

\"P1610761_R\"
\nWe’ll scrub the chain thoroughly to clean it, then oil it well and wipe it down.<\/p>\n

\"P1610763_R\"
\nThe rear bearings look good too.<\/p>\n

\"P1610766_R\" \"P1610764_R\"
\nThe pedals still have oil residue and are in good condition.<\/p>\n

\"P1610765_R\"
\nThe side stand has definitely lost its oil coating.<\/p>\n

\"P1610767_R\" \"P1610768_R\"
\nThe levers have oil and are in good shape. When oil runs out, the lever and master cylinder wear down and play increases.<\/p>\n

\"P1610769_R\"
\nThe throttle is in clean condition, which is reassuring.<\/p>\n

\"P1610770_R\"
\nIt’s great that you always have an extra air filter set on hand.<\/p>\n

\"P1610772_R\" \"P1610771_R\"
\nWe’ll replace the spark plugs, synchronize the carburetors, and we’re done.<\/p>\n
