nigel dabster Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Good news all round then ... Thanks Nigel Best of balance. Neo funny but as i haven't had a sherco for a few years i thought it was a money saving thing but maybe not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coriolis Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Pretty sure its the same my 2011 bushes etc all look like a direct swap. I agree. I greased mine 2 weeks ago, everything looks exactly the same as any other sherco apart from the lack of bearings ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Finally managed to collect the all balls kit, has all the bearings & sleeves for the dogbones as well as where the linkage connects to the swingarm, lower shock bearing & seals as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 funny but as i haven't had a sherco for a few years i thought it was a money saving thing but maybe not? Might save money to the rider over time as compared to those bearing. I was going to try the bronze if I needed them, anyway. Suppose this just confirms it. Still think they will require lots of good grease an overpacking to keep water out, but should not suffer from the corrosion problems of the others. Wonder if they did the brake pedal as well? I did that one , what, over two years ago? I is still fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty97 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Copemech, following advice from yourself, i made a break pedal bush out of Aluminium Bronze which we had in work, No wear at all on it yet so its definately a better idea.

lumpylion Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I just repacked my late model 2010 2.9 and noticed that the linkage uses bushings instead of bearings. I'm not sure when the 2010s started getting these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo I'll check when I get home, as I'm not completely done, but the only damage I noticed was some minor surface rust and corrosion. This leads me to believe they're made of steel, not brass.

This leads me to believe they're made of steel, not brass. Just for clarification, the little tophat things(inserts or inner race) should be steel I would think, and will rust with water incursion, this I would call the bushing. The part that these go into, roller bearing or other, I would call the "bearing", and I am thinking the new ones are of bronze material(yellow metal), which in itself should not rust. There are other possible material combinations here, yet normally not simlar materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Well, the linkage is all back together, but I can photograph the top hat bushing installed if that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
