...... but how do I know for sure?....What are the symtoms of a bad bearing and what is involved in changing it.
Obviously I need to remove the triple clamp to access the bearing, but that looks kinda tricky.
If I hold the front brake and compress the shocks repeatedly or under med. to hard braking there is a small chunk sound and I can feel it through the bars. Can't tell where exactly it's comin from, but I think it's in the steering head.
After hearing about CBR BRUTHA's little mishap (get well soon Brutha) I decided it's time to take care of this problem NOW!
I can order one from the dealer for ONLY $15---OH MY GOD!...$15. I didn't think you could get anything for a sportbike for under a hundred. Except those $8.00 screws.
I prefer to do my own repairs if possible, but I don't want to jump into a repair that I don't have the knowledge or the right tools to do it properly. Some things are better left to the professionals.
Do the aftermarket repair manuals explain how to do stuff like sprocket,chain replacements, bearing replacements, stuff like that.or are they worthless?
Where can I get a good one?
If I had a good repair manual my thread count would be a lot lower.
