\nQuite a few Unicorn Inazuma 1200 Katanas have been sold, haven’t they?
\nIt’s getting hard to tell which one belongs to whom\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nLet’s clean the chain. It’s one of those spots people tend to skip, and it gets pretty dirty.<\/p>\n

\"p1630467\"
\nI always wear gloves, so I can really dig in and get it done.<\/p>\n

\"p1630469\"
\nLet’s lift the dust seal and lubricate the fork. It removes dirt and helps prevent rust.<\/p>\n

\"p1630470\"
\nWe’ll remove the levers occasionally and reapply grease. Old grease gets sticky, which makes the input and return action sluggish.<\/p>\n

\"p1630471\"
\nThe throttle looks nice and clean.<\/p>\n

\"p1630472\"
\nThis is a good time to clean inside the pipes too.<\/p>\n

\"p1630473\" \"p1630474\" \"p1630477\" \"p1630475\"
\nThe calipers look good with brake dust buildup. Let’s wash the calipers, then apply rust preventative to the body, lubricate the pistons, and check the operation.<\/p>\n

\"p1630478\"
\nWe’ll replace the brake pads and clean the disc while we’re at it.<\/p>\n

\"p1630480\"
\nQuite a bit of dust has accumulated.<\/p>\n

\"p1630479\"
\nBy the way, this is nonfiction.<\/p>\n

\"p1630481\"
\nThe shine on the front and rear discs is different now. It feels subtly satisfying.
\nIt’s kind of like cleaning the sole of a shoe, I guess?<\/p>\n

\"p1630485\"
\nI checked the steering stem left and right, front and back. No issues.<\/p>\n

\"p1630486\" \"p1630488\" \"p1630487\"
\nThe fluid is getting a bit cloudy. At minimum, change it once every two years. Ideally, once a year.<\/p>\n

\"p1630489\"
\nThe air filter picks up oil mist and gasoline mist too. By the way, it smells pretty strongly of gasoline.<\/p>\n

Well, that makes sense. The intake is the only place exposed to the atmosphere, so it’s basically unventilated. The filter itself smells pretty strong, by the way. It’s better to replace it after some time has passed.<\/p>\n

\"p1630490\" \"p1630491\"
\nA long neck looks uncool, so I trimmed it a bit. Much cleaner\u2026<\/p>\n
