GSXR1100H Oil-cooled maintenance
We’re replacing the engine damper. For its age, it was holding up pretty well, but rubber components do harden over time, as expected.
There was no rattling, but it did feel a bit loose. It’s a spot that gets a lot of heat, so there’s not much we can do about it.
The alternator gear has no play, so we’re in good shape there.
The connectors showed no corrosion or melting. The condition is surprisingly good.
We corrected the #2 exhaust bolt threads. It was only about two threads at the front—we didn’t even need to install a helicoil, which is great.
It’s open, worn, dirty, and loose. Since this is a spot you use every time you get on and off the bike, it’s worth paying attention to.
We adjusted and cleaned it up. Taking it step by step to keep things looking nice is what matters.
