\n\t\t\t\tI only replaced the pump body because the metal parts that secure it to the tank can be used as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The price at this time was AR$54,900, about 56.6 USD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bought these<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before these arrived, I searched for repair shops on Google<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I looked for a shop with many reviews and good facilities, and contacted about five shops<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, only two shops told me that they could adjust the spokes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ended up taking it to a shop that responded well to my inquiries<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I checked the price, it was AR$50,000, about 51.3 USD, for adjusting the spokes and replacing the fuel pump<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was told that I could do it right away tomorrow morning, so I returned there the next morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After I arrived, he immediately removed the rear tire and checked the spokes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other spokes came off as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently the metal at the base of them had been scraped off<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this time, the spokes on the other side of the bike, which were different lengths, also came off, but I didn’t have this part<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he told me, “Let’s go buy one.” He took me to a parts shop by car<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I bought two missing spokes there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u203bAR$2,200, about 2.26 USD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To adjust the spokes, he just fixed the shaft and turned the wheel to make it straight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see, I think I can do it next time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, next is replacing the fuel pump<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The procedure is that he removes the tank, drains the gasoline, and replaces the pump<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I can do this next time too<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, he put the fuel tank back on the motorcycle and started the engine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The engine started, but the FI light was on and the idle remained high<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This meant that I concluded that the fuel pump was a DENSO product and there was no problem<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, the mechanic in Cochabamba had broken something around the injection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was planning to go to the suburbs of Buenos Aires next, so I decided to ask a friend who lives there to find a reliable mechanic<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s another story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I noticed a missing spoke along the way. When I checked, I found that it was already missing when I first left Asuncion. It was just one spoke missing, but it worked well for the next 7,500km. In Argentina, I can purchase genuine parts through MercadoLibre, so I first looked up the model number.
