\nLet’s perform oil-cooled maintenance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"P1610382_R\" \"P1610383_R\"
\nFirst, we’ll replace the generator damper. The rubber had lost all its elasticity and become hard as a rock.<\/p>\n

\"P1610384_R\" \"P1610386_R\" \"P1610385_R\"
\nThe engine damper showed significant wear and cracking.<\/p>\n

\"P1610387_R\" \"P1610389_R\"
\nThe case side was in better condition than expected, which is reassuring. We’ll apply NewTech NC100 to the new damper before assembly.<\/p>\n

\"P1610407_R\" \"P1610408_R\"
\nSomething felt off, so I took a closer look\u2014there are supposed to be two pickup mounting bolts, but only one was present.<\/p>\n

\"P1610410_R\" \"P1610409_R\"
\nThe system presses Delrin directly against the pickup. The torque is low, so it seems like it should work, but it’s actually borderline.<\/p>\n

\"P1610402_R\" \"P1610403_R\" \"P1610404_R\"
\nSince we were in there, we polished and cleaned it up. Assembly feels much better now.<\/p>\n

\"P1610390_R\"
\nEX #1<\/p>\n

\"P1610391_R\"
\nIN #1<\/p>\n

\"P1610393_R\"
\nEX #2<\/p>\n

\"P1610392_R\"
\nIN #2<\/p>\n

\"P1610395_R\"
\nEX #3<\/p>\n

\"P1610394_R\"
\nIN #3<\/p>\n

\"P1610397_R\"
\nEX #4<\/p>\n

\"P1610396_R\"
\nIN #4<\/p>\n

Overall, there was no seizing and the cam condition was excellent.<\/p>\n

\"P1610401_R\" \"P1610400_R\" \"P1610399_R\" \"P1610398_R\"
\nThe interior showed typical wear and dirt accumulation for the mileage.<\/p>\n

\"P1610411_R\" \"P1610412_R\"
\nWe balanced the carburetors and we’re done. We also reinstalled the torn vacuum cap, so the bike should be running like it should now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
