Normal riding in ~12C temperature. As the temperature is getting lower more gas is consumed. I was also riding with choke a little more this time because I did not have enough time to wait for the engine to warm up.

Cleaned the wheel bearings and packed with new grease. Front wheel bearings have water damage and need to be replaced. Cleaned the rear drum break with compressed air and chased the threads on all bolts and cleaned with kerosene. Oiled chain with gear oil.

Harrison Hotsprings ride. With Seafoam in the tank I have it the Italian tune up. The engine is super smooth now and after 2 seafoam treatment everything is cleaner inside. I can feel more power.

Approximate measurement as I’m pouring from the Gerry can. Finally saw the need to clean the chain. IPone chain lube lasted for 2000km! This bike’s chain is well protected from the elements and mainly accumulating fine dust. The orings looked quite moist all the time. Even when I decided to clean the chain the orings still looked moist, but over all the chain looked dirty enough. Cleaned thoroughly with a toothbrush dipped in kerosene until it was spotless and shiny ✨ ; dried and lubed with gear oil.

Ignore this fuel up because I had to drain and clean the fuel tank. Cleaned and rebuilt the petcock which was clogged. Added reserve filtered nozzle. Took off the carburetors in order to lube the throttle cables. Put everything back together. Added quick disconnect clamp on the negative battery cable. Replaced all bulbs inside the dash. Lubricated the break lever and throttle grip housing. Replaced lever bolts. Brushed off the dirt and stones from the cylinder air cooling fins including hard to reach places. Replaced fuel filter. Cleaned some rust from rear fender.

Noticing that the engine overheated on going long uphill. Need to check for vacuum leaks. I think it might be running a little lean.

First fill-up. The bike works great and looks great. The outside chrome/paint is immaculately kept. Little spots of rust on the swing arm near the shocks. Wheels and spokes are kinda dirty and oxidation is visible, but I cleaned most of it. Chain is ok, but grimy. I cleaned it and oiled it with gear oil. Lots of grime behind the front sprocket cover. Cleaned it. Cables were never oiled and are rusty but don’t bind. Some bolts need to be replaced due to cosmetic rust. Shocks are garbage. Forks were probably never maintained. Engine is Great and Starts on first kick without choke at 23C. Break fluid is great. Breaks are fine. Need to polish off some burnt boots rubber markings from exhaust pipe. Overall super great purchase.
