Shock Bearings

[heffergm]

Anyone know which shock bearing the later model GG uses in the Reiger shock on the Racing models? Specifically 2014. I'd rather not tear the bike down to measure and not be able to ride until new bushings show up.

 

It's either this one: http://www.splatshop.co.uk/spherical-bearing-15x25x13-gasgas-rear-shock-bearing-reiger.html

 

Or this slightly smaller one: http://www.splatshop.co.uk/spherical-bearing-12x22x12-gasgas-pro-beta-shock-bearing.html

 

The 2014 parts manual lists the top one as BT280214300, which splatshop mentions as being incorrect (but presumably indicates that that particular bearing is the one I want, part number aside). But I've had all kinds of things be wrong in that parts manual, so I thought I'd confirm first...

I guess this makes me feel good... being the only one to destroy your shock bushings must mean I'm special.

Smaller bearing is on the Reiger with the large reservoir part of the body at the top. The new Reigers with the large section at the bottom have the bigger spherical bearing, if that makes sense.

Thanks! So mine is basically this shock which comes on the Raga, minus the separate compression damping:

Which from what you're saying means I need the larger bearing kit.

Yup, just like to know for my own edumacation.
