Having stripped out the rear end of the bike have so far rebuilt rear caliper with brake overhaul kit from Powerhouse Automotive. Suspension pivot assembly rebuilt with some new bearings & "collars". Got the bearings from "Marksman" as price of Yamaha OEM outrageous!
Have ordered a new rear Wilbers shock from local suspension specialist so cant instal rear wheel & rebuilt brake assy until shock arrives as need the clearance to instal with a freely pivoting swing arm. Torqued up swing arm nut to 115NM.
Just finished painting rear brake torque arm and wire brushed a few manky bolt heads.
When its all together will remove centre stand for derusting/refinishing in Hammerite black smoothrite. Then its time to tackle the front forks spring action & new oil.
Have sorned bike til end Feb & put on road from 1st March unless we get blizzards! :lol
