Unstable low speeds

They found that the head bearings were in good condition, when the front was raised up there was no notching, only under load, wheel bearings checked.

Full strip of forks and rebuild. The bike has done 600 miles in 5 years

 

No mate but when the forks are out being rebuilt I'm getting them done for the sake of 30 quid

 

It passed the MOT but is staying in for a couple of days for the work to be done and yes head bearings where fine but whilst the front end is Apart the labour costs are covered so brand new set going in

 

Just I made the assumption that the tyres had squared or the bearings had gone, so as the tyres were 7 years old process of ilimination I replaced them. Still bad, so MOT and service day i asked for the head race bearings to be replaced. Upon inspection they seemed fine so further investigation they believe the forks need a good strip down new sills and washers etc and whilst they are apart replace the bearings I already purchased

 

The garage I'm using is slip stream tuning in sevenoaks currently prepping bikes for British super bikes , it has been fully investigated, his point was the bearings look fine he thinks it's the forks where it's been sitting so instead of replacing what seem to be perfect bearings do the lot and labour covers both jobs

 

Power commander, custom map, K&n dyno runs, gear indicator and a damper. Lol expensive toy but don't see many about and I like being different

 

£2000 bike
£320 tyres
£120 service and MOT
£300 fork strip and service and bearings
£500 power commander K&n etc including dyno runs custom map test rides.

£3300ish - but he said that was top end he thinks he can lose a few hours labour if all goes well

 

It is but I've got a fresh bike with everything it needs done to it!

 

Koi

yeah collect Friday night / Saturday morning... Then box hill Sunday weather pending!

 

Much easier to ride than my zx12! Main thing is getting rid of the flat spots!
