    Don't forget to pre lube your new seals and bearings.

    Crankseals, crankbearings
    I pre lube the crankseals plus put a little 2t down the ignition side lube hole to pre lube the ignition side bearing. I just picked up a oil squirt can to lube the ignition side crank bearing. Less messy.

    Rear wheel bearing outer seals,
    Don't forget to lube the rear outer wheel bearing seal too. It has no way to get lube to it but us pre luring it with a water proof grease.

    Swingarm sleeves and bearings, fork neck bearings. A tub of bel-ray water proof grease goes a long way. With fork seals pre lube them with fork oil. Don't use grease stiction might occur.

    Don't forget to use anti seeze on the front and rear axles and the swing arm cross bolt too.

    Pre lube the fork seals with fork oil that's good. I missed saying that correction noted that's you guys are awake.

    Sorry if my post is boring but to a newbie it could help him.
