Dear fellow addicts,
like I wrote recently, bought a pretty neglected Grand Dink 150, MY 2003, 33.000 km, carburator fuelled, to tinker at.
Tires were 10 yrs old, rockhard, so to be nenewed with METZELER M7 TEEN rubbers.
@Stig, pls don't cry, tires brought to the shop, old off, new on, disposal of old ones, and one tire balanced, cost €20,- (twenty).+tip €5,-
Since the wheel carrier was off anyway, a new bearing and oilseals were mounted.
(pls see pics)
There is a snapring, which's purpose is to restrict the bearings seating, need NOT to be removed for changing the bearing. Heat and freeze method, bearing leaves on the opposite side from this snapring (bearing number/type and oilseal size see pics).
CVT and gear are sufficantely smooth running. Motor, for its liquid cooled, good enough quiet, and performance adequate.
Since all plastic parts are deeple rutted (abused) and corroded, I decided to wire-brush and re-pattern.
Then sanding with steelwool, after that two coats with OWATROL plastic renewer. We'll see how long it lasts. Headlight unit has to be changed, it's yellowish, ordered a new one.
Will write further...
