So with the rear end off of the yam and the bits leaving me for powder coating I was left with the messy job of degreasing and greasing which sounds less satisfying than it is. The main suspension linkage was first and needed to be cleaned with brake cleaner and a rag then greased with lithium grease. All the bolts were given the same treatment.
The rear wheel has just had a new tyre Bridgestone Battlax BT016the front will has a new one waiting for it. I cleaned up the paint on the wheels and they come up lovely.

Nice balancing act on the EXUP valve!
The chain had loads of life left in it but looked a state so I degreased that too and will cover it on every side with spray on chain lube.

The main bearing that went through the bottom of the shock needed taking out and cleaning because it was a 360 degrease ball joint and completely seized!!!
I used a threaded rod and a socket to push it out and regreased it on its way back in along with the rubber seal that had a clean up and a smear of rubber grease.
