I've been told that changing a front mudgaurd on a PX125 disc can be a bit of a pig of a job?  Is it really that bad? Does anyone have a guide as to how to tackle it ( idiots guide). Cheers |

Dead easy as long as you're OK with hydraulics.
Slacken off all the cables and disconnect the electrics under the horn cover. Disconnect speedo cable after pushing it up from the bottom.
Disconnect the hydraulic hose at the caliper and catch the fluid in something, then dispose of it as its always good to change it on principle.
Unfasten the through bolt at the handlebars
Lift the handlebars off gently and hang them inside the frame by the cables. (That's the dodgy but BTW!)
Slacken off and remove the two locking collars on the forks.
Did I tell you to raise the front end by propping the stand? Ooops... better do that now!
The forks should now slide out.
Getting the mudguard off is pretty straight forward, though you may have problems getting it over the bearing race. Knock the race off and replace if you do.
Use a T5 mudguard, not a PX one, as they don't rot as quickly.
