\nWell, okay then. Continuing on.<\/p>\n

\nRemoving the lever and lubricating it helps suppress play from developing. It keeps things in good condition for longer. It’s all about taking care of the small stuff consistently.<\/p>\n

\nI lubricated the sidestand and gave it a light coat too. Looks great.<\/p>\n

\nThe pedal has sealed bearings, so I just checked it.<\/p>\n

\nThe throttle holder has terrible serviceability. Because of this thin gap of just a few millimeters, maintenance is significantly harder. A split design top and bottom would be the better choice. Also, the throttle doesn’t have a stopper, so I installed one. Now it has a stopper that hits with a solid “click!” when fully closed. Without it, the cable tension creates a vague, mushy feel at full closure. The former option with the stopper is better because throttle adjustment is easier too.<\/p>\n

\"P1590995\"
\nThe throttle itself was in good condition.<\/p>\n

\"P1590996\"
\nYou can see it’s already developed a habit from use. It’s a holder that’s hard to see and difficult to manage.<\/p>\n

\nLet’s do a fluid change. You should do it at least once a year.<\/p>\n

\"P1610018\" \"P1610019\"
\nThe gap was at standard, so I opened it up a bit to Watanabe’s setting. It makes a real difference.<\/p>\n

\"P1610023\" \"P1610022\"
\nNormally you can only see forced opening with this sketchy vacuum gauge, but the TMR has a negative pressure port, so let’s check it digitally.<\/p>\n

\"P1610024\" \"P1610025\"
\nSynchronization always drifts, so I’m not going to fine-tune it too much. This is good enough.<\/p>\n

\"P1610027\"
\nI wonder if a funnel was stuck in here at some point? I have to say, I wasn’t thrilled about chucking this in the lathe.<\/p>\n

\"P1610030\"
\nLet me check what’s causing that rattling sound. Looks like an offset issue.<\/p>\n

\"P1610029\" \"P1610028\"
\nIt’s a pretty crude way to check, but here goes…<\/p>\n

\"P1610031\"
\nNo cover, no dowel pins on the cover either, and something’s making contact… I’m waiting on parts for this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
