stock overhauling.
got a horrible knotch on the bearings, not liking it at all. feels like the balance knob on a stereo when u hit centre.
gonna pull the bearings out of the project bike and see what condition they are in in a few mins.
Time for some head....

Re: Time for some head....
right, its all a bit fecked up at teh moment.
Just got the bike out after putting the bearings from the project bike into the running bike, got to the bottom of the road and the bike wnted to tankslap. Felt it weave a fair bit even under 10mph. i do have a steering damper and that has been put back on there.
everything loox central, forks are at the same hight, wheel loox straight etc my only guess is the headstock is still fukd.
ideas what bit needs to get sorted?
cheers

Are you sure it's not your wheel bearings?

Re: Time for some head....
yeah id check for play, in the headstock and the front wheel. Also make sure the head cup bearings are fully in place. Check the rear wheel alignment and chain tension too.

Got 2 Koyo 32907 jr-3 for £18.32 a piece to replace both the old ones. Swiss Tony has the bottom yoke at the moment and is gonna try to get the bottom bearing off it without wrecking the dust seal.
