Installation of customer-supplied parts. A bit of a puzzle.
The chain line clearance on the cover side differs slightly between the 1100 and 1200.
There’s a possibility of contact when it sags, so let’s grind it out for clearance.
Cut and ground it out.
It touches the frame slightly, so it’s good to file it down properly.
We want 2–3 mm of clearance. That’s how we filed it down.
Before transplanting the release, it’s better to check it first.
It looks like it’s never been opened since it was new.
Let’s replace the cup and back cover too.
We polish it and then assemble. It came out looking like new. Once assembled it won’t show, but the feel and performance during assembly are both excellent.
I’m really amazed these days. A ground lever like this for just a few thousand yen, and it’s even anodized. I’m blown away.
The brake side has a slight issue. The bolt won’t pass unless the piston is pushed in a bit. There’s almost no dead stroke. It’s a little scary, so let’s grind and adjust it.
After grinding and fitting, grinding and fitting about ten times, it finally feels okay.
Parts like this are scary if you don’t check them before assembly.
