GSX1200S Inazuma oil-cooled Katana, EDR-22 drive recorder, Yoshimura Ti Cyclone, and more

2 June 2023

Since I partially disassembled it yesterday, there’s no overall view~
I’ll proceed with simple tasks~

I’m replacing it with a clutch cover from the Inazuma 400.
11340-26E20 It’s the same part number as the reverse import.
It will become the original gunmetal color.

New ones are discontinued, but you can still find them on Yahoo Auctions and such.

Connoisseurs master the use of Up Garage, you know?

Rare items occasionally pop up, so
I set an alert and only check for those.

The spring is rusty, so I’ll replace it with a Yoshimura one.
*Always in stock.

It’s dirty, so I’ve done minimal finishing.
For the exhaust pipe, I’ll use Scotch tape to avoid scratches. That’s the only way.

Yoshimura Dimension 90mm 118-000-1000

150 yen per piece, very reasonable.
Replacing them at regular intervals of time and distance feels good mentally.

Monotaro’s “Shape Memory Braided Tube” is
perfect for protecting the under-tube.
↑This is the size I used

For securing the flange, “Outlever Repeat Tie Colored” is best

Easy to release with the outlever.
The flange won’t rattle and annoy you.

Why yellow instead of black???
To prevent accidental forgetting in case of emergency.
If it’s black and you forget to remove it, “it melted~” it’s unbearable to watch.

Work is about “increasing the probability of not making mistakes” I think.

Also, you can use it for earthquake preparedness~
For your reference (*´ω｀*)

For exhaust pipes, basically use steel (iron) bolts.
Stainless steel (SUS304) is fine too, but
make sure to apply anti-seize treatment completely before using.

I’ve seen so many that won’t come off and break…
To remove a broken one,
you might end up having to drop the engine.

The recent trend? is tri-valent black with flanges, which is my favorite.

The cover is also now gunmetal,

The Inazuma 1200 has a center stand as an option.
The stopper that came with this used Yoshimura muffler was from a GSF model.

I’m putting the center stand stopper on hold for now.
I’ve also raised the rear brake pedal position.
To be continued!
