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`)
