Sorry for the delay, I got busy at work. I have been making some progress.

Do you think the chain guide block was worn out?



Another bolt was sheared in half by the chain.


Everything else looked good just a little dirty.

The four rear suspension link spherical bearings were retained by steel circlips. They were very oxidized and difficult to remove. I had to compress the spherical bearing with a socket in a bench vice into one circlip to get enough clearance to remove the the circlip on the other side.





You need these to pry out the circlips.



There were eight of these circlips to remove.

I just received a new oem Suzuki .025 piston and one of my crank bearings arrived as well.









Here is a pic of the rubber mounted triple clamps. The stock bars were original but had been tweaked hard. Anybody got a recommendation on a bar bend? Does anybody know what the renthal bar bend is on the new 2018 XC Gassers?

That'll buff out.

Default Still Working

I just left a lot of parts at the powdercoaters. I am trying finish up some other things.

I need some help finding the 4 spherical bearings that go in the two rear pushrods.







These are 10mm wide, 21 OD and 10 ID.






Also, the top steering head bearing has ball bearings with a top and bottom section, and the ID on each section is different(to mate with a bulge in the steering stem). I suppose there is no way to substitute a tapered bearing now.

Default removing Steering Stem Races

This is the top steering stem, is this a removable race or machined part of the frame. The multi piece bearing above(pictured in previous post) and below, fits this top of the steering stem.




This is what the top bearing looked like before I removed it.





The bottom race is normal and I removed it without a problem.

Default Progress

I left my parts with a local powdercoater and after two weeks of the continual run around I went and picked up my parts that were sitting in the same pile in the shop floor where I had left them two weeks ago.

I am shipping my parts to my old powdercoater.He does a great job but the shipping is a little expensive.

This is what a bike looks like in a box.




Engine cases bubble wrapped and boxed up.


Hubs, cylinder and other pieces.

Here is a picture of the oem silencer. It was very oxidized, I cleaned it up a bit with a wire wheel. (Always wear respiratory protection) I am going to have it and the radiators anodized.



The 34 year old radiators don't look too bad.
