The good thing is, you have something to do. The bad thing is, when your done, itll still be a KLR

Don't I know it! LOL

I'm not worried about it. I enjoy this stuff, so it's not like a waste of time or anything. I'll have this one finished in a few days and ready to go. Once that's done, I'll probably set it aside and start a similar teardown on the Busa. I'd say she's earned a little TLC after 70,000 miles.

Damn, but I wish I had a garage. Seeing threads like this makes me jealous. In winter the best that I can do, is a little light fab in the basement

You actually have it backwards. It's no good for the wheel bearings, as the wheels are too big to fit. I have a wheel bearing remover set for that.

The press works perfect for the other bearings/races, i.e. swingarm, suspension linkage, and steering stem.

Correct. I took some video I think of the press in action. Once I get it posted I'll be sure to link it up.
