That doesn't mean I don't enjoy them. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250

For speed and efficiency I might try a slightly different tack Muck. I have been informed the original bearings are made of Delrin and if it's like many 'plastic' bearings doesn't strictly need lubrication (or are 'lubricated' with water) for the Unitrack type role (and probably why there aren't better seals or grease nipples on this model as standard)? As it turns out the bearing sleeves are 20mm diameter and it will be easy for me to turn some replacements in stainless steel, reducing what appears to be the main problem and that is the rusting of the inner 'sleeve' (which then wears the Delrin eventually seizing up and wearing the alloy Unitrack link). For the moment turning some 20mm bar to length and drilling a 12mm diameter hole down the middle is quicker / easier than turning up some phosphor bronze / Oilite� bearings (and 2 of my bearing sleeves are shot anyway). Fitted into some new std bearings and using new seals should keep it tidy for a while. ;-) All the best .. T i m

The enjoyment is a side effect, not the reason for riding. |
