Good morning

Greasing the heim joints/rose joints, bushes and pins is easier with an electric or air powered grease gun. Manually massaging grease into the pivots bushes and shafts once disassembled sometimes is the only way if they are dry and creaky. It's not technically difficult just a pita.

A Ducati engine stand is invaluable.

It's an often neglected service item.

Good morning all.  When in Prague, I drank a lot of Kozel and Staropramen

morning

When I had mine replaced a couple of years ago, the only issue was to watch the number, condition and position of the spacers. Maybe also an open mind to the rocker axle/pin condition.
What about the upper and lower rod and damper connections? Ok?

Spent four days here visiting friends. Great city.

World's best beer at bargain prices too 

Very nice. I like the footpeg stands too.

I've been ignoring the creaky rear suspension for a while.  I can feel vibrations in the arch/U-arm and suspect that the arch/rocker connection needs help.  Looking at the factory manual, I see that there are roller bearings in there.  Before I take it apart, is there anything I should know?  Replace the bearings, apply some grease, and done?  Any gotchas to look out for?

Shit happens
