[ST] Rear End maintenance

[tri99sprint@xxxxxxxxx]

Greetings, since my ST was down for some parts (shift 
lever connecting rod and a left foot peg, don't ask), I 
figured I would remove the rear hub. It felt like it was 
full of sand when I last adjusted my chain. Guess what, 
it was....apparently some grit/sand/road tar got in 
there thru the "drain hole" just forward of the hub. 
Glad I checked, could have really scarred the swingard 
and hub.
While I had everything apart I noticed the 
plastic "chain guide" that lives on top of the swingarm 
was worn down to the point that the torx head screw 
holding it in place was worn enough that I had to use a 
screw extractor to remove it. Had this guide worn any 
more my chain would have been diging into the 
swingarm....NOT GOOD!
Anyway, just a few things to check...
Thanks to all you ST listers who have helped in the past.
