A Sportster (XL1200S) came in recently, so I haven’t even touched the GS1000S since Pokidam 2…
Well, the GSF1200 is out on a trip right now.
The Forza died today due to a radio signal issue.
Since it was warm today, I investigated the mysterious fuse that blew on Pokidam 2.
I was using a smaller amperage fuse, so I thought that was the culprit and swapped it out, but still…
No good.
I removed the tank and inspected the suspicious harness.
Most likely, there was a ground that wasn’t making contact properly—the same issue that happened before—so I added wiring to the engine
and grounded it directly instead.
After cleaning up the area, let’s see…
Oh! It’s fixed! That’s great! ♪
Now I’m finally doing the carburettor tuning! Today it’s about needle position and adjusting the three PJ settings and their effects.
The results keep getting better, and it’s become a really nice-running GS (still a work in progress) ★
I was so happy I gave it a coat of wax ◎
Once I fix the oil weep, it’ll be a lovely GS1000S.
This bike has so much more I want to do to it—there’s no end in sight.
These are bikes I want to keep forever ★
