What is Oil Cooling? How Much Longer Can You Ride It? GSX1200S Inspection Master Overhaul Sprocket & Handle Post Replacement

What is oil cooling? How much longer can you ride it?
I think it depends on how frequently you use it and what condition it’s currently in.

Basically, there are many discontinued parts, genuine parts are expensive, there are few used parts, and there’s almost no reproduction available.
As long as nothing fundamentally breaks down badly, there shouldn’t be any problems.
However, no one knows what might break tomorrow.
If something fails and no new parts are available, you’ll have no choice but to fix it or find an alternative somehow.

It’s no longer a matter of simply looking at the parts list, ordering parts, and replacing them to solve the problem.

You just have to manage by carefully balancing things through information about adaptations and metalworking.
If you’re going to keep riding it, it’s become a bike you need to maintain with deep affection.

The drive sprocket lock nut is 1,500 yen.

Normally I’d keep about 10 of these items in stock at the shop.
Since the stock just ran out, I checked the quote yesterday to place an order…

27521-48E00 What? 1,500 yen??
Oil cooling general 09159-20004 is 470 yen???

I wonder if something was different… I never really paid attention to it.

For now, I’ll replace the front sprocket and close it up.

Going to replace the handle post.

They requested the replacement because they wanted a slightly more comfortable riding position.
Since there was plenty of clearance for the wires and hoses, the replacement was completed successfully.

Going to overhaul the stiff brake master.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a motorcycle that’s scary and unrideable, ranking number one.
When you grip the brake firmly, it becomes stiff with a grinding sound.

The brakes engage in two stages, making it very difficult to apply and scary to ride.

I use a nylon brush spinning in a drill to clean the inside thoroughly.
For the return port, it’s reassuring to confirm the passage with a fine drill bit.

The brake master cup has also expanded and the umbrella has closed.
I’m genuinely impressed by how Japanese products don’t leak or seep even in this condition.

After a few years, everything ends up in the same state, so it’s good to do an overhaul when the timing is right.

It’s a somewhat subtly uncomfortable hole position, isn’t it?
I wonder why it ended up like this? It’s a mystery.

Unexpectedly, the parts arrived today, so I got it done quickly.
We’ll get it inspected next week and it’ll be complete.
