So found a bit of time today to get out to the garage and continue the tear down of the bike. Was not really sure what to do, but figured the simplest thing would be to get the back end off and out of the way, thus leaving me with just the front end.
not much to the removal of the back end, main bolt holding the rear wheel on came off, and that was out of the way, one bolt holding the shock adjustment gizmo and it was out of the way as well, this thing is funky and not sure if it's even working, going to have to strip it down and see how it functions if at all.
Then I took off two more main bolts holding the swing arm dog bone, and the one holding the upper part of the mono shock, and out it came.
Chain is dirty and not sure if it's OK, going to have to clean it up and see, give it a good scrub and a soaking in some kerosene for a day or two...
the rear hub is dirty as can be, but everything else seems to be OK, just needs the wire wheel, or the buffing wheel, and or some simple green, and it will all be like new again....
will check on the bearings once it's all cleaned up, too messy right now, and I have run out of time...
so here are some pictures, until the next time, at which point it will be the front end....
Cheers
That's it for now....
