So my new Z6 for the rear should be here tomorrow. So tomorrow morning I'm going to take the wheel off to have the tire replaced, and figured I'd go ahead and get some of my 'winter to do list' worked on...
While the wheel is off I'm going to go ahead and bolt on the Bandit 1200 rear shock I scored off of Ebay. Any gotchas while I'm in there?..Looks pretty straight forward...bolt off, bolt on..
After that, it's time to remove the rear caliper and go ahead and take it apart, clean it up, and install the new seal kit. Then install the new EBC rear rotor I've had sitting collecting dust and the EBC rear pads. I'll also install the Speedbleeder (Thanks CP) and flush / fill / bleed the rear brake system.
I plan on inspecting the bearings etc when it's apart, but I'm thinking wiping out the old grease and packing in some new Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease oughta do it...
I'll then take the chance to really clean the chain, take the front sprocket cover off, clean it out, and also check the clutch pushrod and clean and lube everything, and I mine as well go ahead and install the new clutch cable I've had sitting around for awhile, and adjust it of course.
Anything else I should check /do while I've got everything torn down?
What about lubing / checking shock pivot / bushings and swingarm bushings / bearings??
As always thanks for your help and insight
