I have started noticing a slight resistance when turning left lately. At my 24K service they made a note to check for "notching". I never did follow that up. Think I need to get it back before the warranty runs out next January.

hope you got this done, you may not be stuck in an extreme situation like i was, my upper neck bearing cage shattered when i was in Bolivia at 9000 feet in a tiny village of around 500 people, i had to fill it will crazy amounts of grease and ride for another 8000 miles until i could find a replacement - grease it now it takes five minutes

i was told that it is a regular issue of minimal greasing in certain areas

I saw one of these in a Yamaha shop while in the South of France, and you could park ya bum on a chair a watch the guy's, through the glass, work on your bike.

It is a great idea and yeah, if at all possible, due to shop layout etc should, at least, be normal practice.

My 2008 XT660z has, now, done some (average of...) 24,000 miles and has just done a 24,000 mile service, so, question: Should the head/steering bearings and the swing-arm bearings etc, by now, been stripped & re-greased?

If so not a mention has come my way!!??? :popcorn2:

:toot: NB: Does this too mean the same for my 2006, 20,000 mile Honda Hornet F6?

Thanks...

Oh dear, if the bike(s) has not been ridden off-road and no winter mileage, but plenty of summer sun & summer rain riding and a yearly Euro' tour, will the bike, the Yamaha :tenere: still need this doing, asap??

Next time I'm at the Yamaha showroom, 26 miles from home, I'll ask 'em, next year now, too. Anyone have anything to add :smilies0942:

The Yamaha dealer I used to take my TDM and XTZ to had a big window between the showroom and the work shop and the double doors between them were always kept open. The mechanic also never objected to you hanging around and asking questions when he was working on your bike.
It does inspire trust.
