Oil-Cooled All-Time Low Price? Bandit 1200 Inspection Step Base Correction

The Bandit 1200wassold for about 6 years.It holds the longest production record among 1200cc models!
That’s probably because it was popular overseas.

Even looking at it now,it’s being traded at a surprisingly reasonable price.


This is an inspection and step base correction request (*´ω`*)

The oil-cooled 1200 step base is “super soft”

Japanese Say 「YAWAI?」
Yawai = soft and squishy (*´ω`*)

When it falls, pretty much the entire base“easily”bends.
Most of them are bent.

I’ll prepare and finish it “reasonably well.”

If I do it too seriouslyand the base “breaks off,”it won’t make sense and creates more work.
I decided it’s better to do it reasonably well within what’s possible.

Before fixing it, I’ll clean the threadsand offer a “prayer for success.”

Plate to collar to inner tube bending bombardment

The plate I had prepared for another model didn’t work.
I’ll use some aluminum sheet I have on hand as the base.

When the inner tube is extended, I really feel like it’s bent.

I repeat pulling and removing, then attaching the step.

Time passes…
Since the plate and bar are pretty much sloppy to begin with, I’ll stop at “reasonably well.”
I think it’s improved quite a bit.

Let’s prepare for inspection

The license plate light wasn’t lighting up, so I checked it.
The connector was reversed. It lit up fine (*´ω`*)

CO is just under 7%, which is pretty strict…
After adjusting the PS, it dropped to around 2%.

I have a feeling that emission testing with carburetors will get tougher year by year.
It seems like shops without an exhaust gas tester will have a hard time with inspections in the future.

Now we just need to pass inspection and we’re done (´ー`)
