Other things to change when replacing gearbox
« on: 09 February 2011, 00:17 »
If I was to replace the gearbox, what else would you suggest changing whilst at it?
I'm thinking:
Clutch
Front wheel bearings
Track rod ends?

Anything else that would be suggested?

Cheers

You should not need to replace the wheel bearings unless they are worn.

Some people change the rear crank seal.
I usually can't be bothered, unless its leaking.

Better to leave them alone if not leaking :smiley:

Thanks for the replies. Ive got a whining from the front which I think is the N/S/F bearing.
