Just finished doing my winter service/check over on my Classic, the shaft spline’s/drive box, repainted the swing arm where the caravel chips it, new fuel filter.
Rebuilt the front brake master cylinder, cleaned all three calipers and reapplied red rubber grease around the pistons. I’ll not be riding it till end of March, but I’ll fill the tank right up with 99 octane fuel to stop the tank getting any condensation in it.

It adds up fast but its nice once you get it done. I'm changing my final drive oil today and wanna get the splines greased before spring then ill be done for a while. I changed out the brake, motor oil, clutch oil and did the air filter the other day. It nice being able to do the work your self I could only imagine how much the dealer would charge.

Is it possible to grease the bearing without removing the seal? Seems to have room between the seal and sleeve after removing the axle bushing.

It would be extreamly toght fit and you probably wouldn't get the grease where it all needs to be. Just got to be careful removing it or buy one and not worry about it so much.
