\"DSC_8288\"
\nFront and rear maintenance, plus a few extras\u2014we’re ready for whatever you need.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8291\"
\nI’m impressed by how the factory manages to bundle all these wires so neatly.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8292\"
\nRemove the rear suspension,<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8294\"
\nremove the steering stem, and send it off for OH.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02229\"
\nTime passes, and a few weeks later it’s back. Now we reassemble, starting with the steering.
\nIt’s pretty clunky.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02230\" \"DSC02235\" \"DSC02234\" \"DSC02233\" \"DSC02232\"
\nIt’s been a while since I’ve seen a proper “bad condition example.” When it’s this far gone, anything you do feels amazing.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02236\" \"DSC02238\"
\nModern frames have pretty deep holes for the race.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02240\"
\nAfter pressing in the race, we check the feel with this setup.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02239\"
\nI see. I won’t say why you need to know this.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02241\"
\nWe use Neutech NC100 grease. The upper seal is now like Honda’s\u2014I’m thrilled.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02244\"
\nThe JB wheel oil seal is Yamaha OEM\u2014bingo.<\/p>\n

\"DSC02243\"
\nIt’s pretty tight, so I’ve done some initial break-in.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8632\"
\nRadial mounts don’t show up at all\u2014quietly amazing. Those machining marks have that “hmm, precision machining” feel.
\nI really admire the people who design this stuff.
\nSince I don’t know the torque specs, I keep turning to Google\u2014or rather, marveling at how great overseas engineering is\u2014and the days of typing away at the keyboard continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
