My first tear down

Post by liv2ride626 »

I am unable to ride for the next couple months so I figured its the perfect time to give my bike a good once over. I am planning on replacing the water pump impeller, rings and possibly the piston. Are there any other things I should keep an eye out for or replace? Any input is appreciated
Thanks

Hi.

Power valves cleaning.

Grease or replace swing arm/linkage bearings and head set bearings.

Change fork and shock oil

Put new air in the tires :mrgreen:

Which bearings are you referring to? As quebec said I was thinking swingarm linkage, but not much else. I have a lot of time so It could keep me going.
