It’s getting dark out.
Hey there.
So here’s the Inazuma 1200. We just picked it up—let’s see what condition it’s in.
That’s the thing.
50,000 kilometers on the clock
I took it for a test ride and overall it felt pretty worn out.
So I figured the best approach would be to do a Deco-mainte—take everything apart and check what’s good and what’s not.
The dirt is really stubborn and won’t come off easily.
Yeah, it’s pretty stuck on there.
The pedal area is heavily rusted.
The calipers are all black and crusty too.
When I spin the chain, there’s this weird clicking sound.
Probably a loose nut on the drive sprocket?
Bingo.
When I’m syncing the carburetors, the engine’s a bit noisy.
Fuel pump maybe? When I rev it up a bit and ease off the throttle, it goes away.
Let me touch the alternator—at the RPM where the noise happens, I can feel vibration in my hand.
The alternator nut loosens up sometimes, so you gotta check it now and then.
When I pull it off, sure enough—it’s rattling around. Ideally I’d replace the damper too, but not this time.
Tighten it up good and tight—perfect!
I’m pretty beat, so I’ll call it a day with the Inazuma.
Nice work.
