For services on my Street Triple which involved valve shim checks, the total cost was in the order of NZ$750. Expecting a similar amount for my GSX-S 1000. One of the significant downsides of an OHC vertical motor!

Both the BMW and the Ural have steering dampers and it really helps with the low speed steering "shimmy". Even with the damper it's noticeable.

Not sure how any visual inspection would have prevented the failed bearing I had on the front wheel of mine but maybe. Like you, I thought sealed bearings precluded much action on my part. My 40k km service is less than 900 km away, must figure out a way to really "inspect" the remaining wheel bearings I guess.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-28935585703899861382016-09-03T04:38:19.614-08:002016-09-03T04:38:19.614-08:00I love the sticker!

I'm going to tear into the head bearing because the steering feels really loose to me. Like you, checking it doesn't seem loose, but I'm thinking a touch tight might be better for me.Learning to Golfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184277358166730368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-81959433387795227822016-09-02T20:54:08.663-08:002016-09-02T20:54:08.663-08:00I thought that you would get a kick out of it.

The one thing that I had never done is the pull apart the steering bearings and check them. I've checked for looseness but they never seemed to need adjustment. I also am not sure about the "Repack the grease in wheel bearings". I thought that Urals used sealed bearings...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-45834871673008343002016-09-02T20:05:30.710-08:002016-09-02T20:05:30.710-08:00I like the sticker!

Note, I asked Jason of Ural when my rig went over 30K km, he said just start over from the first 5000 km service interval and work your way up to 60k km.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
