Chain work is the recurring motorcycle service job and it takes four separate tools. Splitting presses a pin out. Riveting sets the new link so it cannot open. Cleaning gets the old lube and grit off before anything is measured. Alignment checks the rear wheel sits true, since a misaligned chain wears both sprockets. Doing three of the four and skipping alignment is the common shortcut, and it is the one that costs a chain.
Fork servicing needs a level gauge rather than a measuring jug, because fork oil is set by height from the top of the leg with the spring out, not by volume. The gauge with a top-up syringe sets both legs to the same figure, which is what keeps the front end balanced.
Carburettor work reaches places a screwdriver cannot. A pilot screw adjusting tool at 412mm long reach turns a screw set deep between the carburettor bodies without dismantling the airbox, and a 1L portable auxiliary fuel tank runs the engine while the main tank is off. Both jobs need the engine or the front end accessible, which is where the stands on the adjacent leaf come in.
Security closes the leaf out and the ratings are worth reading. A chain and disc lock at 10.5mm by 1500mm carries a 4 star ART approval, a disc brake lock at 10mm secures a wheel, and a ground anchor with security bolts fixes the chain to something that will not move. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583. A pressure washer cleaning nozzle sits on the leaf for washing down without forcing water past seals.
