saxon tour & other 500cc rotax fork neck bearings grease

Postby DAVID THOMPSON » Wed Apr 04, 2007 9:45 am

for the fellows with the rotax powered bikes a note

the OIL TANK IN THE FRAME seems to cook the oil in the steering head
bearings on bikes used in warm areas frame gets very hot
(bmw f 650 riders take note ) and ATK 605 490

so you fellows with the 4 CYCLE ROTAX MOTORS
watch those neck bearings
as most of the rotax powered bikes are over 10years old
and even with low miles may need grease

ar dave

always replace with the best your bearing dealer can get

High temperature wheel bearing grease rated for disc brakes is the ticket.
