Just having a “YOSHIMURA” logo on the frame increases the vibe by 30 percent. The GSX-R is so unfair!
I was told anytime was fine, so I stuck it in the back…
I want to start declining work, cutting back on jobs. I wonder if I can actually do that.
What will happen in 2020? Let’s take it slow and steady.
Don’t you often find that when you shoot video, you haven’t taken photos?
I think I could just cut frames from the video, but I end up not doing it, which means fewer photos.

Check the removal process in the video.
The good thing about Japanese bikes is there’s no trick or secret—they’re designed so you can take them apart and put them back together.
No particular issues found. *Though there usually aren’t any…


Behind the clutch are the generator and the gear that drives the oil pump.
I feel like the 1200 fits together a bit more precisely, but the 1100 seems to have more of a “pop” fit to it.
When this wears down, it gets pretty loud at idle.
I keep thinking I’d like to do something about this fit, but I just keep thinking about it and leave it as is.



The sleeve hub wear and dirt are moderate and look good. I polished it up and cleaned it.

No burning or peeling on the clutch plates.
Since it’s an older model, I’ll replace it with an FCC clutch. It should have modern friction material and surface treatment.
When I look at steel plates from this era, I think they look like they’d slip.

I was going to install the switch, but…
Lately I’ve had a lot of wiring work, and I’m out of stock on crimp terminals, so I’ve hit a stop.


The grip heater (Honda) module wasn’t secured, so I made a clip-like bracket to hold it.

That’s how it turns out. Don’t you think that subtle stock-like feel is important?
My usual strategy is to do a little extra service work to gloss over the late delivery.
Since the clutch hasn’t arrived yet, work is on hold. (ΦωΦ)
