Head Bearings done.

So after thinking it was the bearings, then not, then yes again got them replaced today by Bevans Cardiff, more time constraints than anything else.

They gave the old bearings back to me and at first look didnt seem too bad, but then had a closer look at the bottom taper race, fubar'd is the word. Oh yeah, this is after 50k miles so not a bad innings.






must have gotten used to it, but the ride home was a revelation.

Also got Bevans to change the Fork oil while they were at it, total bill £222, which to me aint that bad

A bit of self centreing steering there me thinks. Strangly every tiger I have bought has always needed the head bearings doing and at nowhere near you milage so well done on that as they only seem to last 15-20k.

I may as well do it, as I'm gonna get blamed for it anyway.
