this poor thing has been sitting for the last year and a half. made me sad to see it sitting for so long. finally got settled into the new house and shop enough for now, that i decided it was time to fix everything back up! so after around an hour and a half of work shes split in to pieces...    | ||

So what's on the agenda for it? | ||

a laundry list of stuff, started out a year and a half ago when i was wintering in florida. tore into it to replace swingarm bearings, noticed the shock was seeping, then noticed the mainshaft had some play, so.... buttoned it up and parked it. also needs a slightly seeping fork rebuilt, some redesign of my breather set up, and some new fittings and valve for the N2O. plan on a complete tear down checking the bearings, rering and hone, as well as other minuscule stuff i find along the way. got back here to home and didnt really have a garage so it sat at my dads waiting... well in april the fiance and i bought a new place with a nice garage/shop and i decided im settled in enough for now to get to work on it. | ||

how many miles are on the bike now? | ||
| No_rice |
somewhere around 25,000 very very hard miles. on road, off road, on the track, through the creeks, in the air, and most on less then 2 wheels. | ||

oh damn...with my XB9...im right around 26K miles with miles of goat road riding and track days. i guess i need to start thinking of a rebuild too. | ||

i wouldnt worry to much. i think its more a fluke then anything. and i BARELY had some play on the main shaft bearing. just didnt feel like taking any chances. plenty of people have alot more miles on theirs with no major problems. | ||
