Swing arm bearing and sleeve kit

Post by scrubs » 05 Apr 2008, 15:32

Just seen that the price for this is 50 quid at LT :eek:
I'm not even sure whether this includes seals..

Does anyone know how much cheaper this would be just ordering at a honda dealer and whether they would likely stock them? I have to order a new swing arm bolt too at £25 :cry:

swing arm bearings are the same as the xr250, but they are still narrow
there are wider ones available and will take a pick of the difference later. Part numbers will be included. Jon

FMTB the manual says - The seals that go in the inside of the pivot end of the swingarm are 20x26x4.5 there are two of these. The seals that go in the suspension linkage position on the swingarm are 17x27x5 there are also two of these. :wink:

:oops: Yes thanks for that NKMK1 , i think that i put a seal both inside and on out side of pivot point ,to further aid keeping crud out, which is why i ordered 4 ,that is the 20x26 x5 items they stock as standard.

Speaking of which......It just started snowing here, so I went outside to roll the swing arm nder cover. As I did the bush fell out when I went to put it back in I noticed there was about a 1.5 mm gap in-between the rolling pins like a pin had fallen out but from my eyes it appeared just slightly too narrow to fit another roller pin in there. Is there supposed to be any gap? :|

The pins should be regularly spaced and loosely held in a cage. The only roller bearing that doesn't have a cage is the small bearing on the suspension linkage.
