\"DSC_4203\"
\n<\/a>The Bandit 1200 is back with us. Today we’ll perform oil-cooled maintenance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC01169\"
\n<\/a>The generator damper was in somewhat stiff condition and somewhat worn.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01199\"
\n<\/a>After digging through the claylike buildup, it finally came into view. It’s lightly pressed in, so it comes out easily.
\nWe’ll insert the oil seal gently by hand.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01170\"
\n<\/a>The damper wear was overall quite worn.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01173\"
\n<\/a>We’ll remove the front hanger and reassemble it in a position where it sits well.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01175\"
\n<\/a>I’ve given it a light coat of rust preventative.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_4199\"
\n<\/a>The front bolt wouldn’t budge at all\u2014I got a bit nervous there. If it breaks, we’d have to remove the head, so we need to be careful.
\nFortunately, we managed to get it out.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01179\"
\n<\/a>The intake side had seizing in two spots.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01184\"
\n<\/a>The exhaust side was pristine with no issues.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01190\"
\n<\/a>We’ll check the synchronization.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01192\"
\n<\/a>This looks good.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01194\"
\n<\/a>New Tech oil change<\/p>\n

\"DSC01202\"
\n<\/a>We’re replacing the 21 mm drain bolt without question and swapping it for a 17 mm one. We’re choosing a reliable steel drain bolt.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01209\"
\n<\/a>The sidestand is looking lonely and rusty and feels heavy, so let’s check it.<\/p>\n

\"DSC01211\"
\n<\/a>We’ll match the width, add shims, and finish it up\u2014I think it’ll look great.<\/p>\n

Almost done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
