Tittervation for the Dom.

I have fitted new indicators and a new ignition switch.







 I decided to bite the bullet and send the plastics and fuel tank off to the paint shop to have them professionally painted.

Service

The Tiger has had its first annual service, a new set of Metzeler Tourance Next 2 tyres were fitted too.  

Today I spent a couple of hours scrubbing them in.

Refurbishing the NX650's front forks and streering stem bearings.

The steering stub bearings had some play in them so it was time to replace them.

Steering stem with new bearings greased

 

When I removed the top yoke I noticed the steering stem adjustment lock washer was missing and the adjuster had loosened which was giving the movement in the bearings.

 I went ahead and replaced them anyway.






Forks removed



 

New Springs

Forks are fitted back on the bike now, i'm waiting for a new front disc to replace the warped one to arrive before I can test the new springs.
