GSF1200 oil-cooled maintenance work underway.
First up is the generator damper replacement. It still had more elasticity than expected. Let’s swap it out and keep it running strong for years to come.
The generator connector looks like it might be starting to corrode.
I removed it to check, but it turned out to be fine.
The area around the starter motor is oily. We can’t replace it without removing the generator. This is definitely an item we should add to future oil-cooled maintenance.
The engine damper showed nice wear patterns. Let’s swap it for the later model version.
I’ll clean up the case side too.
Wow, that’s some serious corrosion…
I polished it clean.

The cam shows no scuffing and is in good shape. The cam chain slack looks good too.
Overall clearance was running a bit wide, so I adjusted it.
The oil changes have been done regularly, so the engine is in clean condition.
Now we just need to sync the carburetors and we’re done.
The #4 vacuum port cap was broken, so I swapped it for a used one.
After a test ride, we’re finished.
