JoeKanuck Posted August 16, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2010 Whew...! I just got done servicing the rear end of my bike...what a joy. I put on a new E3 rear tire, cleaned, greased and installed zerks in the lower rear shock mount hardware, greases the drive shaft, (the top splines were dry but clean). I got a tube of heavy, hi temp moly grease, (less than 6 bucks at Canada's handyman wonderland, Princess Auto), and lubed the crap out of everything. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet since my mufflers are in for repair. When I took them off, they sounded like they were full of ball bearings. I sawed the back off and bashed, beat and pried until the loose bits came out. I will weld it up tomorrow, (minus the crappy guts), and then wrap it in heat tape. It should be purdy...

Evan Posted August 17, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2010 Did similar work (except for the zerks) on my 88VR at MD. It took a days ride but I sure like the E3's now. Also, my drive shaft spline was dry and after I greased it, it seems to slide into neutral much easier when I am stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
