If you want it to last, suggest you grease the tensioner pivot,dogbone bearings (inc ones in swinging arm)and the wheel bearings. Others have found the steering head bearings to be a bit lacking of grease as well. Hope this helps.

This would help you (in Japan with other stuff as well) may be easier than sourcing from UK......
Couldn't agree more, used them loads of times and are standard fit on some applications that I can think of. M7 kits are quite cheap but would stick with either Re-Coil or V-Coil for quality.... e.g.https://www.lawson-his.co.uk/recoil-35078-replaces-35070-pro-xl-m7-x-1-0-metric-coarse-thread-repair-kit p.s shouldn't need loctiting either. IMHO
I don't regard education as a hassle really. I agree with a certain N.Mandela who said "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

I understand where you're coming from and I guess as a trials rider your bike will be in tip-top mechanical condition so why not arm yourself with the relevant information to challenge/educate any tester that doesn't follow the testers manual correctly. All the info is easily downloaded from the government website and clear for all to see what is or is not required to pass. Most of which has been discussed on this forum in the past.
The swing arm bearings seldom need attention but the ones you really DO need to check (and the ones I was referring to) are the ones that attach the arm to the dogbone linkage. If neglected will cause damage to the arm. Plenty of info/pics on line showing what can happen......................
Dogbone and components are the same. Unless dogbone is u/s just change bearings and seals, from bearing supplier and if collars are needed (probably will be) availible from Honda. I note that the H&D one doesn't use the same bearings as OEM - should be full compliment needle rollers really. IMHO
Attached 4RT parts list (same No's as 315) Hope this helps.
PS don't forget the ones in the swinging arm!

It is not the colour of the body that denotes fast or slow (bodies on all dominos that I have seen are black) it is the colour of the tube that denotes fast/slow. White fast - black slow. Hope this helps.
Unusual to have such a narrow rim on the rear I would have thought, but the caliper doesn't lie. I would think that you will need two at 1.60" or WM1...............
Rim info FYI. Rim lock needs to be suitable for size of rim and 21" rims are not always the same WM number - I know that from experience Hondas have used both 1.6 and 1.85 (WM1 and 2) on trials bikes.
