Here we go! Howdy!
\nToday flew by, but it was pretty uneventful overall\u2026
\nFeeling a bit down.
\nStarted the morning by showing the damaged vehicle to the insurance adjuster.
\nThe GSX-R1100 parts arrived yesterday, so I replaced the bearings around the swingarm and linkage.
\nAssembled it while checking for play and movement.
\nAfter lunch, I was asked to handle the used new inspection and registration for a Sportster 1200, so I headed over to Yamasan’s place.
\nThe inspection and registration took longer than expected\u2014hmm\u2026
\nYaru-ze! Ichikawa is waiting at the shop\u2014there’s a call, so I dashed back to the office.
\nHe’s heading to Tsukuba the day after tomorrow, so I changed the oil on his K1200 and installed billet levers on both sides.
\nTonkotsu Custom’s Nagae showed up, and I wondered what he wanted.
\nTurns out he’s a roofer, so he was drilling his own tools to lighten them.
\nHe wasn’t using cutting oil and was just forcing it open with strength, so he wrecked our drill.
\nBuy me cream puffs! Four of them \u2606
\nThat wasn’t the main reason\u2014he actually wanted an oil change, so I reluctantly did it.
\nFinally got back to the GSX-R1100\u2026hoping to finish it today.
\nJust then, a customer came to pick up their inspected bike.
\nWe chatted a bit, and then\u2014’Oh no, the starter won’t turn over!’
\nI instantly figured it was the starter relay contacts\u2014and I was right!
\nFinally back to the 1100\u2014I removed the swingarm, so I needed to bleed the rear\u2026
\nThe screws on the reservoir tank cap were rusted, so I ended up drilling them out.
\nWhile changing the oil, I drilled a hole so we could run a wire through it.
\nFinally got it finished.
\nThe oil-cooled Katana that’s supposed to go for inspection tomorrow still won’t start\u2026
\nI was exhausted, so I headed home.
\nHmm? Looks like I’m stuck again today\u2026
\nAnd tomorrow too? I wonder\u2026
