How about some actual motorcycle content…
This rubber grease seal disappeared sometime last winter exposing the driveshaft splines to the elements. During the winter, not a problem, but the rain could wash dirt into the splines. Not good. I ordered a replacement from Ural NW and it’s been sitting on a shelf for a couple of months. I finally installed it today and also cleaned and greased the splines. While I was at it, I greased the rear wheel splines, the sidecar driveshaft splines and both U-joints on the sidecar driveshaft. The job only took about an hour but you end up pretty grimy when finished.
Next moto task is to fabricate brackets for a new steering damper. The new style Ural hydraulic one has worn out again. This is already the second one worn in about 30k km. But there are some other non-moto tasks in line.
I've not had good luck with the stock steering dampners....
ReplyDeleteThe hydraulic one worked fine for a while and definitely was better than the friction damper.
