Great post Gary, been on the phone to the local ktm dealer trying to get hold of all the parts I lost that day. Thanks for a good ride out, give me a couple of weeks and will be ready for another one!!

Ye, thought I was going to get a carb full of water as we crossed that river,

Its a 2 stroke, im in turkey on the 1st but free the sunday after.

Gary, I've got a dilemma. I'm in need of a ride out soon but am jubvious about riding the ktm over to yours like I used to on the crm, the ktm seems much more highly strung and don't think the engine will like long periods of high revs. I should be able to change the gearing to make it better on the...

Well got the tank filled and painted in Honda red for only £40, bargain!!!

Wish I could of joined you, not far from my place. Won't be long until my bike is up and running now!!!

I ordered the parts today 4x 18mm wide swingarm bearings / 4 x 15x21x12 bearings from simply bearings - £30 1 x 91079-kn5-003 / 15x22x17 bearing £13.80 4 x 91262-gs2-701 seals £4.75 each 2 x 91262-mb2-005 seals £3.45 each 1 x 52463-kae-000 bush (only one was knackered) £8.45 4 x swingarm seals (inne...

Im also going to try and order the seals, has anyone got dimensions for the seals and rubber type? Hopefully will just leave me with some bushes to order.

The price I quoted was for the swingarm bearing and suspension linkage. I think I will look at the xr400 kits and buying in the needle bearings I require from a bearing supplier and then get all needed bushes and seals from LT.

Got a price from LT today for all bearings / bushes / seals that I need, looking at £170 +. Must be a way of improving on that?

Ye I just checked on the LT website they list the Swingarm Bearing & Sleeve Kit for £57.95 but do not list the suspension linkage kit so will have to give them a bell tomorrow

Im in no rush to get the parts, would like to pay as little as possible so probs avoiding LT, Ive tried David Silver and 52463-kae-000 bush is discontinued

So this list covers the 3 way linkage at the bottom and the bearing that connect the dog legs to the swingarm? Im also in need of the collars as they are massively distorted can they be purchased or do I need to get some made? Lasty, where is the best place to order these? Sorry about all the questi...

Hi, rebuilding my mark 1 and the 3 bearings on the lower shock linkage are knackered. I have read the section on shock in FAQ's, are the following the correct bearings I need to get 4 x 91077-gs2-702 / 16x22x12 bearings 1 x 91052-zv4-003 / 15x21x12 bearing 4 x 91262-gs2-701 seals 2 x 91262-mb2-005 s...

Yes i'm tempted with a graphics set so pictures would be good. I think my panels are beyond cleaning up now.

Im having my frame powder coated as we speak in Pitsford near Northampton, if they do a good job I will get them to colour match to the Honda red and get that done as well.
