Once you start!
Once you start!
Started with the fork oil being changed, then the fork seals while it was apart, then might as well do the bushes! head bearings were done last year! then a new rear tyre, while the wheels out might as well grease the linkage, but guess what bearings f***ked so replace those! then it turns out the swinging arm bearings are the same so replace those! (and a thanks to the forum for pointing me towards the AllBalls XR400 Kit) oh nearly time to rebuild, bloodly hell the front wheel bearings are a bit rough! might as well replace the front and rear while I am at it!
Thats it no more this year, gonna ride it now frame coating and engine next year!!
Looking forward to the first ride though all those bearings should make quite a difference to the general feel of the bike!
