Front forks strip and rebuild, bearings replaced, etc etc

Tough to say without looking at your bike, your riding style, the roads you use, your size and weight etc but Yes, it needs it. IMO.

I would agree Bonz
The only bearings I have not changed yet are the swinging arm ones, they will be next

Got a linky to suppliers of work shop & parts manuals

I bought mine from Jersey HD
not sure how to link best to google it



Mark

Shouldn't be any difference in price between Jersey and UK as there is no VAT on books.

i got a workshop cd manual for an x1 on ebay for £3.50, maybe there might be one for your uly on there.

Well I will also have to do the 20k on the CityX soon.

Think I've got my addled mind around the workshop manual descriptions, but can anyone tell me if I will be able to compress the fork springs by hand to refit the fork caps?

there is this one for 2005 XB's - no mention of Uly though - is that a big deal

ok guys lets have a go, how do you check the steering head bearings is this possible with out dismantling any thing major also can i use this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Buell-XB9R-XB12R- ... 286.c0.m14 for 2005 XB's
