| Taking advantage of the downtime. - Lubed throttle/clutch/de-comp cables - New wheel bearings - New bearing seals - New wheel spacers - New Maxxis Desert IT tires to follow....  You always need a good support system!   _________________ 08 XR650L - Supermoto 04 XR650R - Plated "Dual Sport"09 CRF230L - Wife's ride 04 CRF50BRC Member # 49774

| How many miles were on your bearings? Thats a good looking bike. Just for curiosities sake what kind of coating did you use on your shop floor? I just built my shop in October and have been thinking of putting a trick floor coat on.

| Not sure of the overall mileage on the bike, we've had it for the last 600 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the factory bearings in there. I think they we still okay, but I changed em' out anyways. Shop floor is a 2 coat epoxy paint with a vinyl chip coating and a clear coat over the top. Very durable, cleans up really nice.  _________________ 08 XR650L - Supermoto 04 XR650R - Plated "Dual Sport"09 CRF230L - Wife's ride 04 CRF50BRC Member # 49774 |
