Steering bearings need to be carefully adjusted to find the "sweet spot" between too tight and binding, and too loose and rattly. The adjuster nut...
Make sure that you have the washer with the hose guide in place on the pinch bolt. If the washer is missing, the bolt is long enough to bottom out...
I don't have your bike or stand, but you should direct most effort into stepping on the lever arm on the stand (wear sturdy shoes). The lifting...
Changing the steering bearings is definitely in the DIY category. You need either the proper bearing press tools or great care with a hammer and...
Lovely 1000's Mike! How does the R compare to the F?
So it sounds like you wnt to accomplish 3 things: 1. Lower the bars 2. Improve the suspension and 3. Ditch the linked brakes I can't really...
