Hi can any one confirm that the XR250/400 1996-2004 swinging arm bearing kit will fit a CRM Mk3?
Or does anyone know of somewhere online to check part numbers?
Thanks

PS i did search but couldn`t find an answer! so sorry if its allready been asked/posted

All Balls Racing do specific bearing kits for CRM250AR (should be the same as for a MK3) not listed on there website yet but if you email Alex [email protected] then he will sort you out. Mention that you are from the CRM250 Forum and you should get a discount.

Yes they do fit, I have put an allballs racing kit on. You can check on the Pivot Works Website ( http://www.pivotworks.com ) for the details on the part numbers. It gives there sizes and other infomation. The biggest difference is that the bushes on the CRM250 are 63mm and the bushes on the XR400 are 64mm. There are also 8 bearings in the xr kit but all the bearings will fit. The sizes are four bearings at 20x26x12 and the other four are wider at 20x26x20. All the seals fit.

Hope this helps

Hi yes does help, when you say all the bearings fit? I don`t quite get that, as you say some are wider? how would they fit?
With the bushes I assume that the extra 1 mm length does not interfere with anything?
Thanks

Well the crm250 bearings are very thin at 20x26x12. The kit comes with 4 20x26x12 and another 4 20x26x20 which are wider and bigger,the 20x26x20 bearings fit into the swing arm and offer a larger surface area which hopefully means the bearings will last longer.
Bigger is better. There is enough space in the swing arm to hold the bigger bearings.

If you want i am going to fit the engine into the bike with in the next week, i will let you know how it all goes, i already have fitted the larger bearings which fitted perfectly including all the seals so now i am going to see if the motor fits in perfectly.

Hi that sounds good, let me know how it goes!
I was looking at these on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALL-BALLS-MOTOCRO ... 335793889a
but they only look like 2 or poss 4 bearings? not 8? and the price is about the same as Leisure Trail so might just go to them for CRM ones?
Thanks

Guys, keep me posted as I'm after exactly the same thing. I don't live too far from Leisure Trail, so if the CRM ones are a similar price I might as well get the genuine ones from them. Anyone know a price for the kit from LT? If not I will give them a call in the next few days.

So it does, must have missed that, thanks Jack, think I'll just go with that as I'm in there often.
