    Picked up the new bearing and seals on the 5 th.   cold and wet day ,  I installed the bearing and put it together today,  kept the bearing in the freezer over night went in easy ,   the outer seal was a little tougher, had to take it easy on plastic seals,  all is well when finished, and running again,

  the best ride now is my Piaggio b v 350 just passed 12,400 Km.  I think I have fixed the gas tank collapsing,   vented the gas line to the intake of the EFI ,.

Just passed 67,000km and my rear tyre (Pirelli Diablo) wore out after 22,000km. Replaced it with a new Pirelli Diablo Rosso Scooter. I was only epecting them to last 20,000km or less due to highway riding.

The good thing about Pirelli tyres is that they are good in the wet, even with missing tread.

How do you manage 22,000kms off a rear tire?

I can only manage 10,000km.

I use lower tyre pressures (~28psi) to increase the contact patch. It was mostly highway riding, so the road surfaces are quite good as well.

    I finely got around to change the wiring on the headlights, adding one light set at a time HID,   LED , it got a pile of wires in there ,  now one ground wire on each side , and one wire for each light , I even switched the turn lights and made them work, had to add one pin too the plug the turn wiring is there on the harness  , just  not wired in,.  from the plug to the light, time to check the oil and anti-freeze ,tire pressure,  then hit the road,

[kneeslider]

de dee, you changed up from halogen to HID or LEDs?

If it was LEDs, they have plug and play ones for direct upgrading from halogen. No rewiring required.

My first light change was H I D  then to L E D ,  then added l e d cray spots for faster riding at night,  now I can see further ahead,
