The first inspection of the new year was on a GSX1100S. I wonder what the last bike of this year will be\uff5e\uff0aWe’re waiting for your inspection.


We’ll keep working on it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Let’s check the brake disc rotor thickness. The front is about due. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s disassemble and oil the left and right levers too. Smooth controls feel really nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s clean the drive chain and rear sprocket.
We’ll also oil and adjust them, and check if the hub damper is still working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoshimura metal and color combinations can look dull too.
I think it’s important to adjust them appropriately.

If only they were bearings\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spark plug is OEM DR8EA, but we’re replacing it with JR8B. It’s a compatible upgrade with slightly better performance, so you can use it with confidence. Since the plug cord has been changed, we’ll also replace the NT4245. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’ve oiled the throttle sleeve and accelerator cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you remove the side stand and oil it once every few years, it’ll operate very smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We’ve replaced the brake fluid with CCI Golden Cruiser DOT4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The air filter is K&N, a washable type, so we’ve cleaned it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Engine oil and filter have been replaced too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

We’ve brushed the main key with oil and cleaned it well. It makes key insertion subtly smoother. It’s also good to oil and clean the inside of the fuel cap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We’ve straightened and polished the bent license plate holder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next we’ll issue the inspection certificate, take it for a test ride, and we’re done.
