Liter-class naked bike\u2014the GSF1200 has earned the reputation of a wheelie machine.
Cheap! Fast! Good!

Hmm, that’s a very Yoshinoya way of thinking, isn’t it?

The work centers on the carburettor and various small jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Too bad. We don’t want to modify the harness side, so we’ll tap the ETC power from the tail light.
The tail cowl won’t come off.

We’ll cut it and put a connector on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your bike is dusty and muddy, just no-touch. It’s very convenient and gets things clean. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The O-rings are now completely flattened and have a sharp, hard feel to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What?? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s just a coincidence, I’m sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything looks worn out overall. Let’s clean it up and make it sharp again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nice compact Fenteer sandblast gun. <\/a>

This type might be best for using baking soda. The design is pretty good and the price is reasonable, so I ended up buying three of them.

It’s convenient to use a swivel for the air connection.
