    Hello, I once had a motorcycle that had two holes in the rear rim. One was for the tube valve. The other was for a rim lock that prevents the tire from spinning on the rim during acceleration and de-acceleration. I used molybdenum disulfide, which is a high shear dry lubricant, fortified grease, on bearings. Such as steering, wheel, etcetera. Your bike sounds good. Your mechanic was excellent. I wish no more break downs for you. As is so often shouted in unison on the streets of Kyoto, Japan: " Hey! " TH-cam video:

    My unsolicited opinion.
    If the automatic timing chain adjuster has hit the end of its range, that means the timing chain has stretched. Possibly beyond its design limit. If that chain fails, the camshaft will stop while the crankshaft continues rotating, causing pistons and valves to try to occupy the same space at the same time. The manual timing adjustment is an easy fix for now, but the next chance you have to dig into the engine, you should replace the timing chain.

      God isn’t a mechanic. He’s apparently a sadistic vandal. But of course, after damaging Kinga’s wheel rim, he sent along a Good Samaritan with a truck and trailer - just like he gave the world Fauci and Bill Gates and their poisons. Nice guy huh?🙄🙈

    You didn't have a problem with your rim again. The problem was never solved. You knew the slime was just a temporary solution.
    Lucky you found the right people at the right time. Too bad of the camera but provided the glasses aren't damaged it can be fixed. Need to find the right guy/girl for the job...again.

    All's well that ends well! I believe Chilie has over 175j Kilometers on her, and I don't think she's had a major mechanical issue. Everything seems to be normal wear and tear, which can often be expensive and annoying, but still manageable. Here's hoping for many more trouble free miles!
