just been on Wemoto looking at the slinky swing arm bush/ bearing kits now for my 89 model they quote £23 now I am trying to fit the 2000 0ne it goes in but then I have found play in the swing arm to dog bone bush so looked up 2000 bush/bearing kit £13 , so what is the difference ?? which one will I need to get to get the bush I need , just had thought what was that site that compared parts fitments oooooh now where was it ????
Ye that's the one Nev cheers have had a look and can not see where the difference comes from but it looks as if the dogbone bushes that are most of my problem are the same all the way through the models that are relevant to what I am trying to do so will order them and see how we go , when I am all full of cr-- (I mean knowledge I will post back )
Well checked through as best I could and have ordered the ones that look as if they will do the job , then went out to the garage and had a go at getting the old bushes out of the knuckle the dog bone ones that are the ones with wear in them and was well chuffed how easy it was , out in no time , so will just have to wait now to see what comes in the kit , by what some have said on hear I have been lucky every thing going well , would just love to find some where that does a joint for the bottom of the shocks ,with every thing else done might just have a run in to a local bearing shop that some lads have used for stuff like this and see how I get on .
Wrong the ones on Wemoto are just the swing arm bearings no bushes so only half a job , and the ones I need are the dog bone ones and they don't do pattern ones they are Yam ones £95.46 ouch and that does not include the knuckle to frame bearing Oh dear all of a sudden not a cheap bike any more , mmmm decisions decisions where to from here not sure get another knuckle will still need the bush from swing arm to dog so still am going to want half the £95.46 worth and job only half done ,bullets in teeth come to mind but am going to sulk for a while first ,or say F--- it and run mile ,sulk sulk
No bushes are easy to get out of the dog bone joint take the blts out push the pin part out then the brass bush part just tapes out from the inside with a drift if you look in to the knuckle when you have taken the bolt and pin out you can see that there are two bushes one at each side so in the middle there is a step to get your drift on to tap tap withe knocking bar and out they pop turn to t tother side drift tap tap jobs easy , for me I was taking the shock and swing arm out any way so the hardest one to get out was the Knuckle to frame bolt but took off the chain roller and undid the bolt half way over night soak in WD and next morning tap tap ok bang bang and it moved undid the bolt a bit more tap tap and then out it came ,once you see that that knuckle to frame bolt is a bolt inside a bolt it is not as bad as first appears , by the look of things to me its the rollers that are harder to get out but they are the the knuckle to frame and the swing arm ones and the other one that is hard to get out but not as bad as first thought was the one on the bottom of the shock but after getting it out and feeling all chuffed I then found out you cant get that joint any way so was not worth the effort although I have not given up all hope of finding a way round that one yet but if I do find a way round I will post up and let you know as I have been told of a place that can sort or do them some how or another but after having a couple of disappointments I will wait and see , some times people seem to mix up just which joint is which and what fastens to what , I will try and take some photos tomorrow to show more clearly just what I am rambling on about as sat here I am starting to confuse my self , all right woman I know its not hard to do, cant be you have managed it for years tut tut
