I had the same problem with a heavy clutch and I found out that someone had changed the springs and put harder springs on the clutch so I replaced them with standard springs and the clutch is perfect, the clutch is a lot lighter and easy to use in traffic makes for a better ride

Changing the internal springs is a good idea. In some case can caught clutch slippage, but as you are going back to the original it’s a great move.

Seen them smiling is so fun. Classic yellow and the new white are awesome. Some vibrations initially at 5000 rpm but it gets much better with time, suzuki ties the chain a lot.

They are useless off-road but on tarmac they are fine. They last 10000, front a little more. You will maybe need some handlebar risers. So confy. The seat is wow.

Perfect video! I like to keep spare links and a chain breaker tool in my kit. After I clean my chain with ISO and a toothbrush, I use a toothbrush and 10W-30 oil to re-lube it. It drinks about 3 wide caps full. If you change your chain, change both sprockets as well, as parts that wear together repair together. If you power wash your bike, avoid directly blasting the chain, and clean and lube it right away.

When finally tightening the axle nut at 5:17 he said a tendency to pull back. If you fit spanner handle down, you pull forward. I've used 3 different methods for aligning the wheels over the past 60 years. On most bikes front tyre is thinner than rear. First learned the string method tying string to front wheel and with string touching front of rear wheel, then checking distance to rear part of tyre, both sides. Second method, described in many manuals. Use two long straight planks touching rear wheel, front and rear. Distances from plank to front wheel shall be equal. Third method. Use a 24 inch spirit laser level pushed against rear tyre. Small cardboard boxes on each side of front wheel. Sharpie mark on laser dot. My own idea when I could not find straight planks nor a string in the workshop. Fasted and easiest to do. All alignments done with bike vertical.
