The other day we finished picking up
 
from Aiyama’s place

It’s a Z1000 \u2605

I guess I can overlook adding octopus-leg grounds and LED illumination,
\nbut it would be really helpful if they’d think about making it easy to remove the fairings and such for maintenance.
\nIt looks like trouble waiting to happen, so lately I try to stay away from the battery area as much as possible.

We also swapped the spark plugs for iridium ones
 
\n
 
The idle was all over the place, so
 
\n
 
while we were at it
 
\n

\n
 
It was totally crushed!
\nOil changes scare me these days too~
\nLeaving it too loose isn’t great either, but stripping the threads by over-tightening is a pain.
\nAll done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
