GSF1200 (from new). Inspection, rear maintenance, OH, FCC clutch, Deco-mainte, and more

Today’s weather is strange and humid… (´;ω;`)

The world still isn’t quite back to normal mode.
I’m getting caught up in it and my mood is pretty laid-back…

Let me get to work on the task.

I’ll check the manufacturing date, rim width, and so on.

Michelin tires are rapidly climbing my list of favorite brands.
There’s a lot of talk about them in MotoGP, but that’s a separate matter.

Lightweight, supple, durable, temperature-dependent, handling—they feel like just the right tire.

I think the brake disc can be replaced when the current pads wear down.

I’ll check the wheels and runout.

Suzuki’s bearing press fit is on the loose side.
Even a slight impact can move the bearing and make the spacer rattle, so watch out.

I checked the axle and lubricated the speedometer cable.

Everything is in such good condition that work is progressing smoothly—I’m grateful.

I cleaned the brake calipers.

Operation is no problem. The pistons have no rust and the condition is very good.

Replaced the caliper bolts with Yamaha hollow bolts

I really do love steel. The texture is premium. These bolts are Yamaha.

I lubricated the control systems.

Everything is in great condition. I’m really grateful.

I adjusted the front fork to atmospheric pressure and cleaned it.

It’s in such good condition there’s barely any need to do this.

Does replacing the spark plug on a carbureted bike boost your peace of mind?

I usually replace them anyway. On fuel-injected bikes, the plugs are typically iridium and burned clean, so I think you can just go by mileage and age.

Air filter cleaning and Plexus cleaning.

The air filter was pretty dirty, so I washed it anyway.
I sprayed Plexus under the tank and polished it up.

Fuse reused. Battery charged.

The fuse looks like it was replaced before, so I’m reusing it.

I replaced the fluid.

All that’s left is the inspection and test ride.
