    Re: finally!

    Changed the case oil, and put on the new rear fender this past weekend.



    How she sits as of 2 nights ago...sorry for the cell phone pictures.

    New rear shock, rear tire, and brake lever all arrive today and go on tonight.

    Changed the rear tire Tuesday night. Pirelli MXS ready to go......

    And for those wondering, OEM tires on a 2 year old bike come off HARD. I thought it was just because I suck at tire changing, but then my friend who's been racing motocross for years gave it a shot and it almost got the best of him.

    Just changed my tire without bringing it to a shop for the first time....not the easiest thing in the world, but i honestly didn't think it would go on at all for awhile.

    Just picked up some steering head bearings and fork oil. Time for a front end job!

    Re: finally!

    Pulled the front end off today. The bearings looked OK, but something was amiss. In the new kit there was a top/seal made of steel with a rubber lip that sits op top of the bearing and give something solid to tighten the stem nut down on. This part was not in there when I took it apart and must have been causing the slop.

    Anyway, seems much tighter. I put fresh fork oil in and whacked it back together. Ready to rip!
