How many months now? Just sitting there?
\nIt was mid-October last year, I think?
 
\n
 
The hugely popular rare bike “GS1200SS”
\nThis time it’s “AS Uotani & NGK spark plug cord”
\n“TMR-MJN” “Yoshimura ST-1 & oil-cooled maintenance”
\n“Oil change” \u2605
 
\n
 
First up: generator damper replacement \u2605
\nIt’s in pretty rough shape
 
\n
 
And there are some pretty wild requests too…
\nIdeally: “Without destroying the air cleaner box…”
\nIt’s easy to say it can’t be done
\n“So I’ll do my best to meet your wishes \u2605”
\nAfter testing
\n#1 intake manifold & ignition coils left and right & generator
\n& wiring connectors can come off as much as possible\u2014OK
\nOf course, we have to cut a little bit
 
\n
 
I’ve got all kinds of silly tools \u2605
\nA hot-melt cutter
\nNo rough powder, and you can get the shape you want.
 
\n
 
Click!
\nThere’s steel wire in the joint, so be careful
\nI’m not sure yet, but the volume of the cut section isn’t much
\nSo if I smooth the cut edge and seal it flat, that should be OK, right?
\nI figure we’re never putting it back anyway \u2605<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
