leeporter Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I,ll give them a call I was hoping to get part numbers so that I can stay clear of main dealers, the costs they charge are extorsionate I bought my lost lot for a scorpa separately from companies that just deal in bearings etc and saved about £60 so was hoping to do the same thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I understand about saving money but dealers have to make a living, they would soon be out of business without support of riders, plus you get free support and advice when you really need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadof2 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Independent bearing dealers also have to make a living Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) The OSSA swingarm/linkage doesn't have 'regular' bearings. They are bushings. Are you sure they are bad? I doubt you can get them anywhere but a dealer. The prices I saw were not out of sight, but not cheap. http://trialstribulations.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_66&products_id=2254 Edited March 16, 2014 by lotus54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I thought he was trying to replace the bushings with bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Oh. I don't think there is room... Unless the pins are smaller And/or swingarm bored out. Not sure either is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeporter Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah they are definately gone. I would say they are a bush but they are called bearings on there description. As for people saying about dealers having to make money I understand that but dealers only do the same thing as I'm doing so why should I let them make the kit up when I'm quite capable of making a kit up through a little research.

lotus54 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Yes, a plain bearing. I really doubt you can find them anywhere else, and not likely the pins. maybe the seals. If you do, post it up. Edited March 17, 2014 by lotus54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeporter Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The only part I can't find is the swingarm bush pins but I will keep hunting?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldf4rt Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 You need 4 off SKF part number PCMF161817E for the swinging arm (item 3 on the parts diagram) plus one more for the chain tensioner if you need it (and you likely will !) Also 4 off PCMF 161812E (Item 39) Cost me £1.50 each about 2 months ago from local bearing factors. I've drilled and cross drilled my pins to allow PTFE grease injection via a special adaptor that screws into the screw hole in the end of the pins. If the pins get dry, they rust and the rust wears the bushes. p*** easy to replace - I made a pin type tool on the lathe to tap them back in. They're delicate and can twist when pressing back in even though they aren't particularly tight. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
