12.1 is on the low side.

That backbone reminds me of my GPZ 900r, that handled OK ,but due to the huge top tube the rocker cover was a bloody nightmare to refit, maybe 1mm of clearance, just get it near and the bloody rubber gasket comes out , pull it all out reseat the rubber ,try again,,,,,,arghhhh.

I've used the graphite powder & it works great, however I have now stated using the spray. It costs a bit more but it lasts for a long time, if you don't forget when you put it between uses,
& a bit easier to use.
Just a personal choice.
Something like this but there are others.
