GS1200SS Pro battery replacement, right switch replacement, trouble check (soft? carburettor OH)

Ding! (*´ω`*)*sound effect

Everyone’s favorite? The GS1200SS, that is.

The right switch start button won’t return issue & trouble & battery replacement, you see.

(´∀`*) Hehe The annual big sale Amazon Prime Day 7/12・13

First things first—we’ll swap it out for a Pro battery (‘ω’)ノ

Initial charging is pretty important. The bar graph was running low, belly empty.

Putting leftover Shorai battery double-sided foam under the terminal nut really amps up the workability later ( *´艸`)

We’ll swap it out for a new one while it’s still available.
Probably good for decades? Maybe… (let’s say up to 20 years)

We’ll clean up the throttle and reassemble it.
Little by little adds up to smoother action?

When we remove the fairings, we clean up the spots you can’t see.

This isn’t really a service or for the customer—it’s actually for me.
Next time around, when we take the fairings off and I think “ugh, I don’t want to touch that,” I want to eliminate that feeling from everywhere around me.
The bike after the work won’t let us down either, I’m sure… probably.

We’ll swap in a new spark plug. Thought this alone might do it, so we took it for a test ride with just this, but the top end won’t rev… it’s going bobobobo-boboho.

Four-carb carburettor overhaul coming up.
We don’t do this much on this model year, but… when you do it right, time and cost balloon.
We went easy on it.

The #1 MJ was completely clogged…

The MAJ (fixed) PJ hole was also small.

The fuel on the sidestand side had gone bad.

We balanced the carbs and got that snappy? acceleration back.

By the way, I used parts from my own Inazuma 1200 carburettor overhaul (*´з`)
I can’t get to mine very often… and even less lately…
