Here in Tokyo. Snow was fluttering down today.
It’s been a while!
It’s exciting, but don’t you have that conflicted feeling of not wanting it to snow too much?
While all that was happening, I was steadily working away.
Probably the issue with the throttle cable being discontinued or BO or something.
58300-41C00 (GSX-R1100MN)
Either way, this was a problem. Let’s go with the 750cc version, the 750cc version.
I ordered 58300-17D01.
For me, I had no idea what was different.
The vent on the carb side seemed tight? Or maybe not. It was kind of hard to tell.
After assembly it would be tight, so I’m checking it out in its current state.
Hmm, normal!
It was.
It looked like grease, so I cleaned it up and lubricated it lightly for rust prevention.
The hose is Mikuni OEM two-ply braided tube, and wrapping it with a mesh tube gives it an OEM look and helps prevent chafing.
With GSX-R models, using Mikuni hose can result in tight clearances, and some units won’t fit, so you might need to take measures. (That was just a side note.)
The air filter was clean, so we’re continuing to use it this time.
The longer you ride a bike, the more you appreciate the original design.
Is it deterioration? Or evolution? Getting back to basics, that kind of feeling.
I think the easiest way to get along with a bike is to just supplement the parts it’s lacking.
When you synchronize the carbs and adjust the PS, it produces that distinctive four-cylinder sound that goes “Booo.”
It’s subtly satisfying.
Alright! Long time no see, Daytona D-UNIT+. We’re installing it now.
When we install it here, the labor costs more than the unit itself.
Basically, I don’t like sheet aluminum, so I made the bracket out of titanium (Grade 2), T=1.5mm to keep it as light as possible.
We’re changing all the spade connectors to 110-series connectors.
With these connectors, most shops can handle them, and they’re easy to disconnect and understand.
For this type of component, I don’t connect the power and ground to the battery, so I changed them to the right length and crimped the terminals.
This is how we laid it out.
We’ve also added a band-type insurance in case the cover gets lost.
When the battery gets weak, you should consider switching to an AGM battery next time.
Open-type batteries (liquid acid) produce hydrogen gas, have the risk of sulfuric acid damage, and require fluid top-ups.
By switching, all these issues are resolved and the battery life is better.
More to come tomorrow.
