snip... should I buy o-rings and Moly paste and go ahead and service the final drive while I've got the wheel off?
Drew
Yes, Sir. A spare thrust washer is a good back up piece to have in inventory too, just in case. A GREAT upgrade over the stock Honda part is a bolt on valve stem like the ones available from Patchboy, Inc.

What else, Dan'l? ~Jeff
DrewDanube:
Would someone local have said bolt-on valve-stem?
Thrust washer? Is that part of the final drive or another washer for elsewhere?

I have an I/S and don't even mess with the exhaust. I have Cobra 6x6 and not a problem. I use a lift, remove bags, shocks. lower the bike to remove the axel above the pipes then lift back up high enough so the tire will clear bottom of rear fender. Use high temp bearing grease (carmel color) from auto parts. I get my tires from Global Motor Sports on Kuykendahl north of FM1960. Ed and Willie are good people. If it isn't dealer only, thats where I go. I have used Honda of Houston there at West Rd/290 and been treated well to. I'm in the further outposts of the greater Houston area, Magnolia.
Glad ya kept her upright.

You will not likely need the thrust washer. Take it all apart now since she is unridable anyway to see just what you do need. The thrust washer is under the drive flange and mates w/ the right rear wheel bearing face. I have only seen one ever that was ruined.
Maybe someone local to you will walk you thru it the first time? ~Jeff

I've got no lift and am relying on the center stand to get me through this...I may wait a day and get some help from my dad (and his jack and mechanical experience). So frustrating that i have to do the hokey-pokey to remove the rear wheel. I fully realize the need to remove the side bags, but from there, there is alot of detail...
