    A bit more work on the STRS, removed the rear drop link to re grease everything, low and behold the needle rollers fell apart, water ingress was the cause. I ordered a complete drop and drag link repair kit, and a new drop link, I intended having the original Cerakoted, however a new OEM link was just as cheap. Also found a slightly tight thread on the heel guard fastner, so re tapped both threads along with the fasteners. I'm just doing a few hours here and there on the bike as I am busy with other jobs. Interestingly though, I only re greased the rear suspension prior to going to the IOM S100 in July. It was the worst weather I have seen though on the Island, I guess riding in those conditions saw water getting in to the bearings. Oh and I managed to get a replacement OEM coolant expansion bottle for the original that was split at the fitting holes, at £5 a real bargain that makes a change.
