I don't know if there is a video, but it really isn't that tuff. Just wet the axles and swing arm bolt in grease (you can be more generous with the swing arm bolt), and slack off the stem head adjusting nut (under the stem head lock nut) until you can see the lower stem head bearings. You can goober up the stem head bearings pretty much, or, in other words, be generous with the grease. You did this with the bike on the center stand. Next, let the machine off of the center stand, and let it rest on the side stand. Now you should be able to put the grease to the upper stem head bearings. Tighten the stem head adjusting nut finger tight and put the bike back up on the center stand. Now tighten the stem head bearing nut until the forks turn with NO resistance, but the forks don't have any play at the stem head. When it is right, tighten up the stem head lock nut while holding the other nut with a wrench so it doesn' tighten or loosen the bearings. Use marine grease. It will keep the water out...ARH
