\nLet’s perform Deco-mainte.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC08203\"<\/a>
\nI don’t think it will run amazingly well, but by disassembling and checking it once, I believe we’ll discover many things we wouldn’t have otherwise.
\nFirst and foremost, cleaning is essential.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08207\"<\/a> \"DSC08217\"<\/a> \"DSC08215\"
\nWe’ll also clean the calipers, and if the return action is sluggish, we should consider replacing the seals.
\nKneading worn seals repeatedly won’t do much good.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08210\"
\nThe distance collar has a lot of play front to back and side to side. Let’s adjust it by press-fitting.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08218\"<\/a> \"DSC08225\"<\/a> \"DSC08224\"
\nLet’s disassemble the control systems and lubricate them. This improves durability and operation.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08221\"<\/a>
\nLet’s also disassemble and lubricate the side stand. Lubrication is necessary to smooth the upper and lower spring hooks.
\nIf there’s a wide gap, adding shims is also a good idea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC08220\"
\nFrom the condition of the handlebar, you can tell the mileage is low. We’ll clean it and apply a thin coat of engine oil.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08228\"<\/a> \"DSC08226\"<\/a> \"DSC08227\"
\nSince we cleaned the brake calipers, a fluid change is essential at the same time. The condition looked good.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08231\"<\/a> \"DSC08229\"
\nWe replaced the spark plugs. The air filter looks fine for now, so we’ll reuse it.<\/p>\n

\"DSC08233\"
\nWe adjusted the synchronization.
\nWe’ve identified several areas to work on next time, and I’d like to let you know about them when we deliver the bike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
