I got to one of the inners with an extended long drill bit... It can be done on the 1000 at least.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Paintman, invest in a Dremel tool if you don't already have one. It will make the process of getting the old bearings and races out much easier. other than that just your standard metric tools should do the trick.

Old thread, but I'm working on my steering stem and forks so I figured I'd save a new thread:
For the steering stem, the old lower bearing did not have a seal at the bottom, just a washer. I got the same make/model bearing and also bought a seal from Suzuki. Should I still use the washer under the seal?
The upper bearing came in a sealed package but the grease seems sort of dried out and really sticky. Do I need to clean it, or can I just pack more grease and expect it to loosen over time? It seems like a b1tch to scrub all the rollers.
Next, I want to rinse out the forks. If I don't feel like dealing with kerosene are there any other suggestions for a cleaning rinse? I have left the fork seals in for now as my plan is to clean out the old fluid, replace the springs, and reuse the old seals. I might change my mind and swap in some new seals though.
Thanks,
Joe
