This is the GSF1200 belonging to our buddy Big H, who rolls up on a Sanitra with an aggressive color scheme.
This time around…
Front (additional overhaul) and rear maintenance, brake maintenance, and rear caliper replacement
Brembo 19×18 master cylinder and Zeta lever installation
Clutch cable conversion and Zeta lever, chain and sprocket replacement, damper replacement, and more
Plus various other bits
We’re working on the easier parts first
We’re installing a switch on the master cylinder, but the tank doesn’t sit in a great position,
so we’re bending it back into shape ★
“Want to convert the clutch to cable?”
We actually bought and tested quite a few OEM parts back in the day.
For a naked bike, a cable with an L-shaped bend at the root works best
We trimmed the adjustment bolt a bit and it’s good to go.
The R1000 clutch release lever is long,
and it might be touching the sprocket nut—
or maybe not—so we’re going with an Inazuma one instead ★
I think that’s about it for today.
