Re: things to do
how many miles are on this bike? Do you need to change out all bearings?

The bike has 25,700 miles,since putting progressive springs on though I would go with new bearings since had it down.

Re: things to do
Are you sure that's not 125,000mi on the OD? Very unlikely it's only 25,000

Re: things to do
I bought my 90, 2 years ago with only 26k on the clock, so that doesn't surprise me any. As far as the bearings. proventative maintance is lacking way too much these days of throw away everything. I try to live by the rule that if you think it's needed, do it. It's your peace of mind and safety at stake. Good luck with your project.

Re: things to do
I wouldn't recommend using all balls bearings. Go to your local bearing supplier and have them match a good bearing. I have used all balls bearings and will not in the future.

Re: things to do
Don't forget the hydraulic clutch... Same DOT4 Brake Fluid. Gear oil in rear shaft drive, as well. Cheers!
