[QUOTE="IAPPO, post: 181765, member: 2108"] I've finally managed to get the Kawi in its places. And that's hasn't been a simple task as, in the process of preparing it for her first laps, I found out that: -it had worn back wheel bearings, which I changed. Please note my super-awesome bearings aseembling tool [ATTACH]24474[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]24475[/ATTACH] This is what it looked like before [ATTACH]24478[/ATTACH] By the way, does anybody know why they put 3 bearings in it? That's kinda strange. While I was there I decided to remove the tyre and get the wheel centered and the spokes tightened. I've also painted the disk in gold, for added Brembo-ness, and of course because gold is the fastest color for a disk :smirk: that's helped me drop my lap times of 5 to 10 seconds, depending on the circuit [ATTACH]24477[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]24476[/ATTACH] -while checking the back wheel bearings, I realized that the hub had a small crack in need of attention: [ATTACH]24479[/ATTACH] so I welded it, and I have to say I'm absolutely pleased with the end result [ATTACH]24480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]24481[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
