Inner primary bearing

[Buckster]

Finally got around to sorting out the noisy inner primary bearing. It's not a difficult job but means removing the entire primary, I wanted to inspect the Dark Horse motor sprocket I fitted in place if the old compensator anyway and make sure the old deflector was still in place on the inside of the cover as it has been 1500 miles since I fitted those.

The Dark Horse and deflector all looked good, unfortunately one of the starter bolts wouldn't come out, the allen head was buggered.

I started drilling it but looking at the head I had an epiphany and sure enough one of my cam driven stud pullers fitted it so it came out nice and easy.

At that point I went to get my bearing race puller and after turning the shed upside down I couldn't find it. Last time I used it was ten years ago in Georgia. I started to think maybe it was still over there.

So I put the bike away while I figured it out.

Found the tools this morning after two minutes of looking, they were under the bed of course. Hopefully get most of it done this evening.

I've been ages looking at those photos for a sprocket but all i can see is a transmission pulley
