"New" dirt bike, whose ready to ride 09?

Just got finished putting it all back together last weekend. New front wheel bearings, repacked the head tube bearings, and new swing arm and linkage bearings. I took all the gay stickers off and set the sag.

heres a pic of the old linkage bearings.

I really feel I was fucked over, but oh well. it runs decent. I just gotta change the oil asap, Ill probably do that and check the valves next week.

April 13th is opening day for area 51, I have my gold membership. Ill be riding most Mondays 10am-noonish.

I Need a dirtbike, havent had one in years. I would probably kill myself.

Sweet… I got the Gold membership too, but I’ll be there mostly Mondays and Thursdays 5-dusk, and whatever weekends I can get out there. When I checked my swingarm bearings at the end of last season, they didn’t look much better than your old ones, but I took them all apart, polished them as best I could (what a PITA), greased them up and stuck them back in. I’ll have to get some new ones this year, but it can wait.

Polished?

It was like 140ish for the swing arm and linkage. No powerwashing for me, only the undersides of the fenders.
