    I would hope so,theres about 20 years dirrefence :laugh:

    The Gassers are a great bike,very forgiving and carve lines like nothing else Ive ever ridden. They do have some little quirks that are a pain but can mostly be sorted easily. This bike looks like a gem Jason hope you can sell her mate.

    Two great white sharks, swimming in the ocean, spied a ship in distress. “Follow me, son,” the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the ship. “First we swim around the people in the water with just the tip of our fins showing.” And they did. “Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few more times with all of our fins showing.” And they did. “Now we eat everybody.” And they did. When they were both gorged, the son asked, ” Dad , why didn’t we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them? “

    His wise father replied, ” Because they taste better without the shit inside!”

    Mick this is the way that I have had most success with B)
    First I cut the outer bearing cage then removed all the needle rollers. Then I dropped the lower clamp and stem in the freezer for the night.
    The next morning use a small propane torch and warm the bearing cone up just a bit, the good news here is since the whole assembly is cold the stem underneath the bearing begins to cool back off.(law of thermodynamics – heat travels to cold) The bearing is warmer than the stem, I just took a flat blade screw driver or small fox wedge and a hammer and tapped on the inner race until it pops off.

    Take your time It may take a few cycles of heating and beating to get the bearing off. The lower clamp isn’t damaged and it’s all ready for the new seal and bearing.

    Now time to press fit the new one, I found a similar process for that job that involves the freezer as well. It’s actually where I got the idea for the removal.

    Ultimately the best way is to use a press and remove the stem but this has worked great. The Yamaha’s carry their oil in the front down tube and tends to heat and melt the grease out,that is why they do really need to be checked often on the blue machines ;)
