Hey boys and girls;
1984 R80RT purchased in May.
Turns out that when not used/maintained the bearing grease in the head tube turns to glue! I can barely move the bars.... Not fun. The bike only has 19k miles on it, (or so advertised but I see no reason to disagree), but the bearings need re-greasing/replacing.
I know head bearings have been addressed in other threads but my question is a little more specific:
When cleaning/repacking ONLY does the fairing/dash removal process remain the same as if you're replacing the bearings and races? (total removal of the fairing and dash.)
Thanks in advance.
