\nSince the bottom case looks nice, I’ll protect it carefully before removing it. I choose protective materials that can be reused, and by making this a habit, I believe both efficiency and quality improve.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>There’s noticeable rust, so this turned out to be a good opportunity. When I checked the bearings, they’re the same as the other oil-cooled models\u2014in fact, Suzuki’s been using the same ones since around the GS1000, and I’m grateful for that compatibility.<\/p>\n

\nKnowing the condition of the shaft helps you rule things out if trouble comes up. I prefer steel for stem shaft material.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>In the meantime, I’ll change the fork oil. Lately I’ve been switching from ASH to New Tech fork oil.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07274\"
\n<\/a>It’s important to check visually.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07276\"
\n<\/a>Since it’s a street bike, let’s fill it up properly.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07278\"
\n<\/a>I adjusted the bearing position.<\/p>\n

\nThe ETC was mounted in an inconvenient spot, so the owner asked me to relocate it. Less work means lower cost. I’d like to fit a souvenir the size of a split horse mackerel in the storage box.<\/p>\n

\"DSC07284\"<\/a>
\nA muffler where the oil filter can’t be removed\u2014rare these days. The collector is slightly dented or something, so it wouldn’t come out. I removed only cylinders #1 and #2 to do the work.<\/p>\n

After that, I’ll take it for a test ride once the inspection is complete, and we’re done.<\/p>\n
