    I wouldn't recommend needle bearing for that application. the swing arm only has limited movement and the loading on it is really suited towrds phosphor bronze bushes!!
  3. more likely the caliper has seized, just strip it down and clean. i'd do the M/C while your at it!
  4. couple of things; I would say from the bottom of the contact cover, there is a little slit there from drainage. maybe a camshaft seal has gone ( easy fix) burinng oil with a leaky exhaust blowing back onto the head leaky head gasket getting oil blown up into the fins

    There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms. Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 am. The next day at 8:45 am there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new Employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush Red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena . 'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday...' 'Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles

    some more rebuild tips use food bags with the white matt label background and keep things together and in logical order. photgraph everything ( especially inside the headlamp bowl) make note of wring runs and tube locations. have somewhere to keep finished parts ie the loft! don't throw anything away even if knackered, you may need to destroy something to get at a hidden bit! better to do that on a knackered part! make a list of things to do and cross off when finished don't set a budget or time limit

    tick over does mean the bike is running at idle! 8000 miles on a set of contacts may need renewing!
