(February 4, 2023) The wipers on the Pulsar always had a lot of "slop" to them; they seemed to pause momentarily at each end of their stroke. I opened up the cowl to find that the bushing between the wiper motor and linkage to be missing! I searched online but could not find a suitable replacement, so I decided that I could create one myself using my 3D Printer.
After a few measurements I had a design that I felt would work. I printed the part using carbon-fiber infused nylon to give it some strength. The black part in the photos below is the newly created part.
Before installing I used some 3M silicone grease to lube the parts. The new bushing snapped into place perfectly.
