If it has 'top hat' washers then it is is a floating brake 😐 the type of disc brake where the disc needs to float to centre the disc between the pads. To do that the disc needs to float side to side and not radially, if the washers are worn in 2 spots radially you can loosen the retaining blot and rotate the top hat washer so it wears in a new place.

🤙🏾 I was there for a month trying to rent and ride there but sadly it never happened. Terrain looked awesome for trials riding in places I'm sure you're not allowed to ride.

& Aloha what island do you ride? 😎

Determine if your clutch operates on DOT brake fluid or thin Oil Determine if the problem is in the Master cylinder, brake line or Slave cylinder Replace parts and install is fairly easy requiring very few special tools outside of possibly a big plastic medical type syringe similar to in the picture below Easiest way to fluid fill is generally from the bottom bleed vent screw

Did it leak out where you can see it or inside the engine casings?

In all likelihood there will be more then one capacitor involved, the big one connected to the fuel pump acts like a battery and would almost certainly be dedicated to the fuel pump which is the highest draw on the alternator.

How do they prove negligence unless they were being held under water by the land owners 🤔 that's the part I can never figure out.

Make sure absolutely everyone signs the 'I'm not your mommy' waiver form, everybody that didn't sign is trespassing 👍

Non graded bearings will simply never be as good as a better bearing even when you first install them, that's a reality, will they spin your wheel around and around, yes and maybe even a little bit sideways give or take. Guess I'm saying how do you think they come up with 5 grades of deep groove roller bearings and then there are the ones y'all are buying at 4 bucks each and not graded at all. Wheel bearings are obviously very important and highly stressed on a trials bike, was asked what I use and recommend and that's it, graded name brand bearings. I don't pay that much but I don't buy them in US, maybe it's a tariff thing

Because there is only 2 bearings and they are carrying a wheel that is 27 something inches in diameter. Small amount of play in the axle bearing results in large amount of movement in the wheel. You can push thin oil into a wheel bearing with an insulin syringe and displace the water, might be wise after your next deep water crossing, makes them last longer.

So you figure a 4$ roller bearing with only 7 balls and zero claim to tolerance is as good as the one with 9 balls, costs 4 times the price and meets a high tolerance spec 🤔 interesting. Yes you need to keep the water out of any roller bearing, that is what the grease and oil does, it displaces the water. ... if it was for the track idler wheel on a 1968 snowmobile I would agree with you.

You are going to find bearings have a precision rating, low numbers are low quality, higher number ABEC rating cost more. Same tool is good for pressing in the new bearing, use an old bearing to push the new one in, works slick.

SKF from a local being supply 6 or 8 at a time. You can buy different specs, expensive bearings have more balls and tighter specs. ... made up a puller to change them super easy, the steel sleeve to extract the bearing spacer is cut from a used CO2 canister.

If you grab the tire by the front and rear and give it a sturdy wiggle rotating action about the vertical axis and can observe any change in the chain slack, that is a clear indication the wheel bearings need replacement or the swingarm bearing needs attention. Bad bearings also contribute to reduced braking. I end up replacing wheel bearings more then chains and that is buying the higher quality bearings ymmv.

If the chain tensioner is doing something when the bike is at rest with no rider aboard you are good to go, if the rubber block is touching the swingarm at rest that's not good. ... so far this year alone I spotted 3 bikes with the axle set crooked and I noticed it because the chain tensioner was doing nothing when they parked their bikes. Make sure the axle is good and tight and that your wheel bearings are perfect, wheel bearings wear out fast.
