mr dab Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hi, I have recently purchased an 08 beta 80 for my son, I was supplied with replacement bushes for the swing arm as part of the deal but when I dismatled the swing arm they are needle bearings. The seller said bushes are better than bearings as they last longer. I am new to trials and bike maintenance and would value any input on whether to use bearings or bushes. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 cant help you with bearing or bush advice but a word of warning if you unbolt the rear shock and let the swingarm drop to far it will bend the rod between brake pedal and cylinder i found out the hard way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
