Maintenance Day to go out in the afternoon
I've been working hard since this morning, but after lunch, I had a break in my work... "Oh, yeah. I remembered that the air filter and plugs had arrived at the bike shop.
12-Month Inspection & Front Brakes with Radial MasterYou had ordered it when you went to the
So I called the bike shop and asked, "Is it OK if I go there this evening? He said yes, so I crossed the Aqua-line to Chiba.
The new tires that I had just changed on Saturday didn't feel quite right. I felt that the air pressure was a little low, and thought, "I might have made a mistake in choosing these tires..." I thought to myself as I arrived about an hour later.
On the way to Aqualine, the wind was as strong as ever. I crossed the sea with a sense of dread, as well as the fact that my tires didn't fit properly.
The bike I saw in the store
When I arrived, I left my bike at the shop and went to see the exhibits. There was a H2SX SE that had already been sold.
This is the second time I've seen the actual bike. After gazing around, I'd go to the pits to look at my bike.....
Hmm?
Mmm?
Hoho (Chinese firebird)
What is this? It's cool.
It is said to be a sidecar based on HONDA's big scooter, FUSION.
I googled it right then and there.Omicron III from a company called Sakuma Engineering.It seems to be the type of car called.
The shape and the colors were like a homage to the bullet train or a 70's SF style... It was retro-futuristic and wonderful.
New plugs feel good. New tires feel good.
The work progressed in a matter of minutes....
The work was completed in no time. It's still light, and the winds are still strong on the Aqua-Line, so I'm going to hang around Kisarazu for a bit.
I had the bike shop inflate the tires a little higher, so the impression of the tires changed drastically from the outward trip. Maybe the air pressure had dropped a bit while the tire was acclimating after being left unattended after the change on Saturday (appropriate).
It is light enough to change lanes with a flick of the wrist, yet has a solid ground contact that can be felt even when driving straight ahead. The stability of the tire is different from the previous tire, even though I gradually deepened the banking in the corners, which I was afraid to do right after the replacement.
Well, you can't compare them to a 4 year old tire with 16,000km on it, but... I'm looking forward to riding on the winding roads in the northern Tohoku region this weekend.
And the spark plugs. The one in this picture is the one that was replaced, and when I saw it I thought, "Are the electrodes too thin?" But when I checked again, I found that the iridium plugs are sharp like this from the beginning.
After the replacement. I can clearly feel the power increase from idling. Recently, I've been riding my Ninja 650 at higher RPMs, and I've felt the effect of changing the plugs to lower the RPMs by 500-1,000.
So, after a fun run, I slipped into a sushi restaurant that I saw....
When I came out after eating sushi, the wind had died down a bit, so I crossed the Aqua-Line safely and headed home.
