Today, I managed to find a bit of time and had a potter on with the Suzuki GS650L. I replaced the front wheel bearings using Suzuki special part no- 32mmsocket, re-fitted the disc with new bolts and removed the steering head bearings. All was going well, but the bottom race is stuck fast on the steering stem. A bit of heat will have that off in no time.
It's pronounced 'twenty-one-twelve'

I am posting this here as the section is about action taken and not just an opinion.
I am thinking (!!!) of trying to wrap my spare tank. Has anyone here got experience with this. I have been watching a video by "That girl biker" (not perving). She is clever and patient and the video is well worth a watch.


This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can. Nothing travels faster than the speed of time.
