\nThe EK chain links took a while to come in, so work was on hold.<\/p>\n

\nCoolant should ideally be changed at least once every two years. Since it goes through constant heating and cooling cycles, sediment builds up. Let’s check it regularly.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02269\"
\nRunning tap water through it a few times and flushing it out simply works well to remove the buildup.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02264\"
\nThe radiator cap was pretty corroded, so we replaced it with an NTK.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02265\"
\nIt’s a good idea to write the date on it too.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8655\"
\nThe center muffler bracket broke, so we made a new one from stainless steel. The positioning was so tricky that we couldn’t bend it in one go, so we made it in two pieces.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8656\"
\nWe added a positioning pin too.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02262\"
\nIt only fits where it’s supposed to, and since the nut is welded on, attachment and removal should be easy.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02411\"
\nThe front sprocket is showing some wear, but the rear is in a similar state, so I’d recommend using it a bit longer and replacing both front and rear together.
\nWe didn’t do an oil change on the standard fork since it’s being stored\u2014seemed wasteful.<\/p>\n

After a test ride, we’ll be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
