Oh YES!!! Job going nicely, thinking to myself- soon be finished-then the awful realisation that its all got to come apart again. Oh well if a jobs worth doing why not do it twice! :eek
Was in my local Yamaha dealer yesterday talking to one of the mechanics about my next autumn service job-yes youve guessed it-the swingarm & rear suspension bearings: clean,inspect &, hopefully, just regrease. So thanks for the prior warning :lol .
I am lucky in that I have a large "drive-in" kitchen and can work on bike in warmth & comfort. Have a large flat work surface to lay out parts as I dismantle in proper order. Helps to have kettle,radio, central heating and comfortable seat on castors.
Have "Fond Memories" of working outside in freezing weather with tools & parts all over the tarmac-but not these days! Also find digital camera very useful because I know I wont remember where everything goes-just look at what they cram in under the fuel tank-everything has to go back just so-& thats not my OCD talking :lol
