There really are a lot of Inazuma 1200 oil-cooled Katanas out there.
Inspection, Watanabe, front maintenance + SKF& Newtech fork oil overhaul and polishing work requested.
We removed the rear suspension and sent it out for overhaul. We always ship precision parts like suspension and carburetors in an attaché case rather than a cardboard box.
This reduces the risk of water damage and I think it can handle being thrown around. Plus, we can reuse it.
We’re already doing nothing but harm to the environment, so we try to be thoughtful in small ways.
Finally, someone who gets it. This Inazuma 1200 oil-cooled Katana’s seat is fixed with two wing nuts. Taking it off is fine, but putting it back on is a real pain.
We quickly made a plate like this and wherever there was a gap, we did our favorite knurling (hole press).
We reused a tapered cap bolt that was lying around and fit perfectly.
It looks like this for now, still temporary.
Closed state
Open state
Snapped right in. Well, we’ve met the requirements.
Temporarily fixed and tested the opening and closing. It works great.
• Made the opening and closing arm simple
• The tapered cap wasn’t sharp enough and wouldn’t go in just by pressing, so we remade it.
Finally got one thing right.
