I feel for you man. Wish you the best getting the bearings serviced. Maybe make a list of all your chassis seals and bearings and see what the cost is to replace.I'm now totally unemployed (coronavirus)....and Im doing the jobs on the bike that I should have done years ago. When Im at work though I use the bike dvery single day so it's hard to find the time to fix it. Now I have the time but no money. Luckily I ordered bearings before my income suddenly stopped
Your thread really brings the reality of why to buy a reliable bike that can be beat to crap and still perform its duties. I can just wheel mine in the garage and forget about it. Yours is used for transportation and work. Not to mention in your country vehicles live a rough life. This is a true testament of the durability of these Super Tenere's.When Im at work though I use the bike dvery single day so it's hard to find the time to fix it. Now I have the time but no money.
You slide out the bushing, then the bolt comes right out:How did you get the bolts out without removing the exhaust? I'm currently trying to remove my rear shock and am finding it necessary to remove the linkage but Yamaha decided to put the bolts in from the left and then to mount the exhaust pipe in the way. 2016 ES
