    In a properly working cooling system, coolant loss is due to the coolant vaporizing, and escaping through the joints in the hoses. I use a fine toothed stainless steel hair comb to straighten the cooling fins on the radiator. This also works on HVAC systems.

    @sv650nyc7 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'd like to see a video on the need for chain lubing. Since modern chains all have O- or X-rings that permanently seal in the lubricant that is required for the chain stay flexible, applying lubricant externally could be regarded as unnecessary.
    The main focus on chain maintenance should therefore be in making sure the sealed nitrile rings stay pliable and are protected from the elements. That leads me to believe that cleaning the chain should be done as carefully as possible, using a soft toothbrush instead of a hard bristled "chain brush" usually recommended, using kerosene instead of water to keep the rubber from drying out, then applying a corrosion protection that also conditions the rubber, such as ACF-50 or teflon-based dry lube, to make sure the chain is as dry as possible so road grime won't stick to it easily.
    Applying sticky "chain lubricants" may have the opposite effect by attracting dirt that in turn may damage the rubber rings.
    Then again, there's an adventure rider out there who experimented with frequently lubing and not lubing his chain at all. It made no difference in the end. The chain always lasted around the same distance. See here: th-cam.com/video/J9JpN1F6QFo/w-d-xo.html

    I believe that also wheel bearings are worth a check. Looking for strange noises and side to side play on the wheels is key for safety, especially on older machines.
    Thank you for this list, we are looking forward to the next video!!

      @sv650nyc7 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      And the click will be louder the older your rotors are. My old rotors with 50k miles made a distinct click, put new rotors on and cannot hear any clicking now. The play of the new rivets is minimal.

    You can't really adequately inspect the tires when the bike is in a wheel chock. You need to use front and rear paddock stands and lift the bike so you can rotate the wheels. That also makes cleaning the wheels easier.

    Awesome work as always!
    Over lockdown here I found some fine rust particles in the fuel pump. I cleaned that out and have kept it going but have ordered a new one. 6 weeks from Japan 😳. Replaced the filter too. And drained and rinsed the fuel tank. Found some bits of rust. Could be coming from the fuel cap or top of the inside of the tank. Next step a bore scope. I can now field strip my tank and pump blindfolded in the dark. So that’s a bonus skill.
