As title says i have just bought a brand new swingarm as mine is going rusty and flakey can i re use the bushes and seals or willthey need replacing and how hard is it to actally remove the swingarm thanks
Easy to take swingarm off mate but you will not in a million years get the old seals & bushes out without damaging them! And if it is the swingarm of eBay then i was gunna buy that but didnt in the end because, i got a quote from Yamaha dealer near me for a new set of seals, bearings, bushes ect and they gave me a daft quote of like £100+ so i said f that! Then found some aftermarket ones on google with good reviews that was i think £30ish so wasnt to bad. Then i got a quote from local Mechanic to see how much he would charge to fit all new seals ect and he gave me a quote of about £50 to take old swingarm off, fit new stuff into new swingarm and re fit it all.
Sorry for essay but just wanted to let you know. But if you do all the work your self then it isn't that much to do it all
EDIT: Did a little search for you mate the company that make them are called "Slinky" just search in google for "Slinky DT 125 swingarm kit"
