②GSX1100S Inspection · Front maintenance · DID Sunstar KIT Deco-mainte



I hate it when the rainy season drags on, and I hate it when sunny weather continues and gets hot. People love comfort—we’re selfish creatures.
I’ll continue updating.
The Katana sure has a lot of head cover bolts. I’m thinking that to myself as I remove them.
The fastening bolts sometimes have different lengths below the head. Usually they should be the same when the bolt is floating (loose). There are cases where they’re mixed or separated and some are longer, so you have to be careful not to mix them up.
I also gave the breather cover a light polish.
I polished the cover bolts lightly and then applied Gun Coat for a fresh look.
The cam chain tension is just right. Since it’s a chain, it doesn’t necessarily stretch evenly all the way around.
Like the drive chain, both too tight and too loose are not good. (Too tight is usually the problem.) Getting it just right—that’s the hardest part.

The measured values weren’t far off either. Adjusted to specification.
The SR/SY metal head cover gasket. It would be nice if the factory came with this.
Gently close the cover and the valve adjustment is complete.
