Andi am ok for trip up north,:thumbup send is details and al sort cash out for ya, ride mine and see what there like b4 you decide what you want to get. :dunno remember the matt black ones are the fastest:devious


Ha.....i've heard they are bud!!!! No worries, i'll speak to kev and get back to you asap.......should be a good un!!!
 
Don't sell it, heard that saying ' Be satisfied with what you have, not with what you haven't'? Lot's of guys still riding round on Jap crap, poor buggers.:devious

When you pull the linkage off your looking for pitting and corrosion on the actual needle bearings and the shaft that goes through the centres.

It should be well greased up, if it's dry then chances ar it's fooked the bearings.

Yours may not have seals as standard, mine didn't but it has no. :doug

Yeah bud i know!! I think i'd be looking at approx £2k ish for mine which would break my heart!!! Will sit on it for a while and think it through, besides, got my new shock to go on so that'll keep me amused for a while!!

PS, when i take the linkage off bud, what should i be looking for with regards to it needing new seals, grease etc..... or is it better just just get it done Alan????????
 
You're right Alan...........didn't have the seals in it at all!!! On it's way to you buddy...................:thumbup

What was the condition of the pivot pins? (The big spacer the bolt slides through)

Are they knackered/rusty/pitted etc... Reason I ask is they are buggers to get hold of and if they are knackered then I'll get 2 on order now.

They were fine surprisingly!! To be honest Alan, after a clean they all look very good!! The dog bone linkage thingy!! came up well after a clean but looking at it closely could definately do with bearings and grease!! Otherwise, surprisingly good...............:thumbup
 
Just had another quick look there buddy and they seem ok to me but i'll let you decide. They aren't pitted or badly rusted or anything though so think ok.
