replacing swingarm bearings -advice?

[Stanley Mulvihill]

Cheers KLR650 riders, My name is Stanley and I am preparing my 1996 KLR650 and my wife's 1996 XT350 for our first Grand Adventure. What I mean by Grand Adventure is a dual-sport camping trip some where in the forests of Washington State. So does anyone know or have any suggestions on preparing XT350 and KLR650 (which already has Kawasaki tank, tail, and saddle bags)? I am not new to motorcycles in the past couple of weeks I have sold off my collection of about 55 dirt and street bikes (Bultaco, Hodaka, Husqvarna, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha), but still have repair manuals just incase one day....... Just ask if anyone needs any repair info on cycles from about 1965 thru 1989 because I should have the answer. Thank you! Have fun, Stanley P.S. Where can I find a bag set for the XT350? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com

You must be a English Teacher... what=it=bearing. put bearing in freezer, pull bearing out of freezer, put bearing into swingarm. and or of course the old bearing is assumed to be already removed by self. --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Thomas J Komjathy" wrote:
