THIS ANY GOOD

Tutorial starts at the bottom of the first page.

Not so sure it applies to a CBR or F650GS though.

The link isnt working, but thanks, I was looking for the 1100,1150 gs FD

Then it may be of interest should you not have seen it before.

The whole ADVrider site appears to be down so try later.

ADVrider is down for maintenance. Give it a day or two and check again

Are you telling me that 11**'s have final drive problems??

Yes, but generally speaking they have a few miles on beforehand. Just over 69,000 in my case.

You're welcome, have a nice day.

P.S. At home, bearing in the oven, shaft in the freezer for a few hours. The bearing will fall on, don't forget to put the shim on first if you've removed and cleaned it.

Just done mine this morning, yes heat gun to warm up bearing and gear in deep freeze dropped on a treat, but its 22C at 08:00 in the morning here in Johannesburg, just as an indication it took me hour and a half total so it not too much of a mission

It amazes me that people who don't know ( I didn't until Mr Steptoe ) slate the big gs's for their final drive systems when it's a couple of hours and relatively cheap to diagnose and fix.
Apart from a couple of electrical problems and a few niggles here and there the big gs is a great bike...knowledge is power, and thanks to this site and guru's like Mr Steptoe my world is a better place....Tosh.

Just wait untill you get oil leaking out of all four wheel bolt hole's,
That;s when the fun really begins
