After crashing a few moons ago, the bike is back and running BUT(isn't there always a but) the steering is extremely tight around dead centre, requiring a good push to move it around, and a grinding sound can be heard when moving throught there. once past the centre, movement is fine.
Front forks, suspect both Oil seals are shot, both forks have oil slowly leaking past the dust seals, and dribbling down the forks.
It is not ridable in this state, I tried, but I ain't that stupid , so I can't drop it around to a machanic to fix, and I don't have the tools, to fix it myself, and half scared of dropping/lossing a part made out of unobtainium. Are there any mobile motorbike machanics around in Auckland?
