2009 April 28: Front forks and rear drive (2.00 hours)

Updated: 

  • Mounted the rear drive the the swing arm, coating the splines with Amsoil 5th Wheel lubricant: very sticky stuff.
  • Reassembled the front forks using new seals, crush washers on the drain plugs, dampers (original type because the manufacturer/manufacturing process was recently changed and when compared side-by-side to the FAC dampers, the quality is fairly close), springs (Moto Spezial one piece springs), dust covers, etc.
  • Mounted the front forks to the bike, inserting the headlight ears along the way with new rubber rings.
