Cush drives?

"Absolutely, they must be replaced given the mileage"

                          OR

"Yeah, you should probably do those since it is all apart"

                          OR

"If they are still in one piece leave them alone"

I would change them.  Find a video first.

Ummm maybe not.  Mine were still good at 85K and the rear wheel comes off often enough for tires.

Unless you're powdercoating the wheels...if they're sound leave them alone.

They will be left alone. Thanks for the input.

Mark, dumb question...

I've got the stock Sachs shock of my 796... and assuming it's the same shock... you want a newer shock?  It only has about 10K on it...

FWIW, I've also got the old cush bushings off my stock sprocket... 10K on them, too.

Reassembly begins in earnest tomorrow!!!!


20230218_154204 by Mark Hanis, on Flickr


And remember this little bastard?:


20230204_162146 by Mark Hanis, on Flickr


Well, how about now?:


20230218_154244 by Mark Hanis, on Flickr


And:


20230218_154255 by Mark Hanis, on Flickr


I drilled it a bit to get an extractor in there and it was not budging at all. Nothing that I did mattered. So I kept drilling, got through, drilled larger and larger until I got to the size I needed to re-thread the damned thing.

Small victory.

Are you guys OK with me using this on all electrical connections before reassembly:


20230218_154320 by Mark Hanis, on Flickr


It was given to me by a mechanic a while back. He used it on everything electrical. Just wondering what your collective thoughts are. This or something different?

MotoGP in Austin is in the middle of April; that is my running clock to get this SOB back on the road!

It's fat from sheep. Smells aweful, but is good rust prevention. I filled my new, a while back, frame with it.

For your purpose it should not be leading electricity. Does it?

I run connectors clean and dry but use dialectic grease around them to protect them. Many substances that protect also insulate so you want to encapsulate the connection without coming between connection points.

So around the base of the outside of the male connection?

Connector seam, and where the wires enter.
