Did a big push over the weekend and glad to say the bike is back together and on the road!
Got the final drive and boot etc cleaned and all greased up-
I used Liqui Molly LM47 for the splines and Comma CV & Lith-Moly Grease for the rubber boot ( although are both pretty identical in color of viscosity)
After putting it all back together, I ran some water through hose over the top of the boot to check no water was getting through, opened it up again and all was good! Il re check it in a month or so.
Finally got the rear hugger and Mivv installed!
Took the front wheel off and cleaned up the pinch bolt, forks, front suspension, callipers, discs etc
before
during
after
Deep cleaned, polished the wheel and added 2 layers of high temp ceramic wheel wax which will make washing and keeping them clean much easier.
Didn't take much photos of the process because I was so focused on getting it finished.
Putting it back together wasn't fun as I snapped one of the belly pan plastic clips and had to epoxy it back in place.
Also, its quite nerve racking once its all done to be sure that you've properly torqued everything etc!
So here we are, mission accomplished! Bikes looking clean, its been serviced, and its good to know the bits that weren't so good have been addressed and wont get any worse, and now things have been coated/protected, that riding it daily wont be such an issue and keeping it clean will be a breeze.
Many thanks to those who have contributed. Having words of wisdom from those more experienced has really helped me along the way, as have the many many other threads in here. I know Im very late to the K party, but its all very new to me and Im enjoying the experience so far! I hope this thread also helps any other newer members/owners like me on their journey to get stuck in!
Ive started a write up of the products etc I use and will post this asap!
Now to start riding and enjoying it!
