Hi everyone,
Just acquired my old Honda CB650 about a month ago, but i just realized that i might need to have to change the steeringhead bearings. They are simple too worn in, an stiff when riding for me to feel safe.
What kind of tools should i need as a minimum. I do not want to go invest in all kinds of special "bearing" tools if i can avoid it. I'd rather spend my money on some multi purpose tools and then see if i can circumvent the rest.
I have a good set of socket wrenches, and the alround normal wrenches, allen keys, screwdrivers, hammers (not that i hope to need it) etc. but would there be anything special that i simply NEED to get?
Also, i have trouble finding information about what torque to tighten to front suspention, etc. with after i am done. I have the original manual and also the haynes manual but can't find it - am i just blind? or can anyone tell me the specifications?
All help is appreciated, looking forward to learning something about my bike, and hopefully be able to quickly change the bearings so i can get riding!
Cheers,
Morten
