My chain adjuster has seized. From reading these forums I'm assuming the problem is either filth in the swingarm or the rear brake disc holder seizing to the bearing holder. Either way the axle is going to need to come out, and since I don't have a garage or a particularly well-equipped toolbox it's going to the mechanic to get it done.
The bike has about 70k on it and for the last 5 years (and 40k miles) it's been ridden in all weathers, including during the winter when the roads are salted, and if I'm being honest probably hasn't been washed down as much as it should. Dismantling the back end presumably isn't a five minute job, so what other parts should I look at getting replaced at the same time to get the most bang for my buck out of the mechanic's time? So far I've got a replacement bearing carrier because mine has suffered at the hands of the "hammer and screwdriver" chain tensioning method, and a new set of three bearings to go in it. I've also got a new OEM rear disc. Other bits I can think of would be cush rubbers, shock/linkage bearings and maybe swingarm bearings. Are any of these likely to be knackered at this mileage? The shock is the other obvious candidate to get fixed and I'm currently torn between a YSS one at about £300 or a Hyperpro one for around £400.
Anything else I've missed?
