Yes… I will share lots of pics along the wayWell don't put the camera away yet. We want to see all of it!!
Update!! New tires are on. Took her out for her maiden voyage( 1st in who knows how long). What an incredible feeling to bring a bike back from the dead. Will probably take her out again tomorrow and then begin a total teardown to properly restore.
This bike is very fast and rides really smooth!!
Balls and races or new tapered bearings?Bearings were shot , new bearings on the way
Tapered bearingsBalls and races or new tapered bearings?
That’s good to know. Thanks for the heads upIf you got the AllBalls kit that includes grease seals for both bearings, do install the bottom one. along with the original Yamaha rubber ring seal, but no need to install the top one. It really doesn't do anything. Gravity will naturally pull the grease down so no need for a seal on the very top.
