Completed: Bandit 1200 K6 Inspection, Deco-mainte, and More


The HID is positioned next to the mask. The plate is reinforced with ribs standing up.


First protection, second protection. But I’m not really the fussy type.


We’ll wipe down the chain to clean it up. Don’t just leave chain lube on—always wipe it off.


The axles look good front and rear.


The calipers are clean. The oil seals are a bit stiff, probably from age.


Cleaning the spots you can’t see helps keep everything in good shape longer.


Lubricated the wheel seal lip. The bearings are fine.


Give both front and rear a little dig now and then.


We’ll touch up the fine details too.


The front was clean too. This one’s also a bit stiff in operation.


Clean this up too.


If it makes a difference, use it. If you don’t notice any effect, it’s better not to apply it.


Clean the lever and throttle, then oil them.


Lubricate and wipe the bottom underside. Apply rust preventative to the top and wipe it down.


It won’t move at all… this pedal?


The fact that it moves when removed means the clearance is extremely tight… +0.08 is impossible.


The boot was getting worn, so I adjusted it flush.


Left side is safe but the width isn’t quite right. Clear.


Oiled the side stand and installed a lighter spring with a bit of nose grease.

 


Tank color gets lost surprisingly easily. I touched it up.


Added Fuel One.

Next is a test ride and we’re done.
