Winter work
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 11:16 am
Just a quick couple of questions.
I'm planning on sorting my suspension and rear brake out over winter, plus doing valve clearances etc.
Plan is, hopefully new rear shock (dependent on budget), Rick O fork kit, rear brake overhauled with new braided line through the swinger, powder-coat the very tatty wheels and fork lowers, engine serviced with shims sorted and probably a good wash.
Now for my questions.
I know I'll be needing new wheel bearings, is it worth replacing any other bearings while I'm at it?
I'm missing the left hand side lower fairing mount (the one at the back of the lower), where can I get one of these?
Been looking but to no avail.
Also whats the best way of cleaning all the shit off the swingarm and other accessible parts? (engine won't be coming out the frame).
