The 388s fit the three piston front caliper Honda fitted to the 2012-2013 DCT with ABS model. (In the USA only DCTs got ABS 2012-2013. Can't speak to other markets. A location in your profile or post is always helpful.) 196s fit the two piston caliper Honda fitted to manual transmission non-ABS...

Beautiful.

Nonsensical. Racing bikes take the racing line around the turns. Generally outside - inside - outside. Road bikes on public highways describe different lines around the same turn depending on direction of travel.

Left turns in the USA are larger in radius compared to right turns and the bike is leaned left for a longer period of time. This is a normal wear pattern in countries where we drive on the right side of the road. It’s reversed in countries where they drive on the left side. Road crown is 3% or...

You can hear the noise change turning the wheel by hand when the lube mixture is applied to the chain. Chains make a certain amount of noise in use that is normal, I suppose.

Every 300 to 500 miles but have gone further. The grease sealed in the rollers is the real lubrication. The ATF-80/90 more or less keeps the chain quiet. The rear wheel stays as clean as my shaft drive bikes.

It's strange that cutting with ATF removes that smell.

50/50 mix of ATF and 80/90w gear oil applied with a toothbrush dipped once in the mixture is my go-to.

Very nice. The chain looks a little tight but it might be the camera angle.

That appears to be a coaxial connector common to heated clothing wiring harnesses. It could be used for a battery maintainer if the connector male end was grafted to the maintainer wiring but I don't think it indicates a specific brand of maintainer.

In past NCs I drilled a hole in the side of the frunk and installed a 12v power point (cigarette lighter type) for a USB adapter. On my current one the previous owner drilled a small hole in the battery maintenance cover for a SAE connector to pass through. The SAE connector is handy to connect...

Congratulations on this find. 30,000 miles is barely getting started.
