It’s been unusually cool lately.
\nIt’s comfortable, but when it drops nearly 10 degrees, it feels oddly strange.

Friday was a bit crowded \u2605
\nToday we managed to get back to the shop before the rain started, right on schedule.

Here’s the Bandit 1250 \u2605
\nI wonder if this engine is a new design?
\nThe frame looks similar but is subtly different
 
\n
 
We don’t get many chances to work on water-cooled bikes \u2605
 
\n
 
The radiator cap is still in decent shape.
 
\n
 
It’s so-so.
 
\n
 
We flush it with water until it runs clear.
\nThen we pull a vacuum, fill it with coolant, and bleed out the air to finish.

Fluid work, three jobs
