Today I suddenly decided to just get the pre-inspection done.
*The main reason is that three months have passed and my residency certificate has expired…
I’ll check every little detail (*^-^*)
I’ll take it off once more to check, just to be safe.
It would be rough if I had to think “I should have checked before putting gas in.”
The parts around this tank are all new—wonderful!
It’s subtly an offset five-hole PCD, so marking it this way makes things easier next time.
*Though I’m not sure when I’ll need to remove it… ( *´艸`)
You shouldn’t use the specified molding that comes with this OEM part.
You can’t secure it without adhesive, and relying on double-sided tape or other vague methods is poor for serviceability.
I’ll replace it.
Suzuki 94631-44110 The price has gone up quite a bit since the old days, but there’s no other option.
It has metal inside and can handle most thicknesses. And it wraps around the entire tank with ease (‘ω’)ノ
It clicks in with a satisfying feel and comes out easily.
Don’t glue it in—that’s just good practice.
I’ve changed the fuel gauge connection to a 110-series connector.
I’m only thinking about how to make the work easier…
This one-time effort makes things more efficient and reduces connection mistakes.
This rear reservoir hose band is from a Bandit 1200 or something more recent.
The GSX-R from this era used a band-type, but swapping it for the modern version is more efficient going forward.
We always want to absorb and use good things, right?
It doesn’t cost much. For a shop, it’s a good item to keep in stock.

After registration, a test ride will complete it (´-`)｡oO
