Lately I’ve been thinking the Inazuma 1200 survival rate is surprisingly high!
The Inazuma 1200 that seems to have been used gently and mildly. It might already be outlasting the GSF, don’t you think?




The engine damper wear was in quite a condition.
With this much wear, you’d be able to feel the difference—I’m happy because the effect after the work tends to be noticeable.


Cleaning up spots you only get to at times like this might just breathe a little soul into it.


Everyone leaves this one untouched—the cleaning power is actually pretty amazing!
↑I’m too lazy to go buy it, so I get it from Amazon too.


The final-generation engine damper? I’m impressed they made this fix.
Those through-bolts are a real pain to tighten.

Applying grease in the grooves keeps the case from getting rough (it wears less).

Let’s replace the small parts and clean everything up.


The starter motor O-ring is pretty worn. It’s gotten quite hard.


I cleaned up spots like this too, the ones you only get to at times like this.


The generator damper had decent elasticity. This one gets replaced too.

I polished this one later too, but… I forgot to take a clean photo.

Something I’d really like to stop seeing.
Applying liquid gasket all around rubber seals seems questionable to me.
It’s a pain to remove… and some of it ends up in the engine.
Leaking means the seal is degraded and needs replacement.
Including the engine side, it takes 40 to 60 minutes just to remove it all.










There was a little scuffing, but considering it’s over 100,000 kilometers—amazing! That’s an oil-cooled engine for you.

The cam chain tension was fine too.

We touch up the bolts at times like this too.


I gave it a light polish.


By the way, when you apply liquid gasket, it gets all over the head side too… then you have to scrape and peel it off—what a hassle.
If you don’t feel the effect from pad grease on pads or liquid gasket on rubber seals, I can’t recommend it.

You might think it’ll fall off without it, but the ribs are raised, so it should be fine unless you work really roughly.

I adjusted the synchronization.

The spark plug burn was pretty good.
After that, we replace the small grommets and we’re done.
