Title: Replacing rear suspension linkage bearings and spacers for FZS 600 (2000)
Post by: Neon Knight on 07 September 2014, 01:36:40 pm
Bought myself a nice R6 shock from Kebab to replace my standard shock on my old but much loved FZS 600 box eye, I was very happy with the purchase. Decided that I would fit it ASAP because my old shock is shot. Got down to the nitty grittty of pulling the old one off and have found that the bearings and spacers in my linkage are shot to bits. Do the replacements come as a complete set or as individual items ? Plus does anyone have any idea where I can get them or a new set ? Any help much appreciated. Cheers Guys and Gals

I ordered mine through a Yamaha dealer, I've only ordered the one I needed, not the whole set, apparently the whole lot will set you back about £70 though.

Go here:
http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/services/online-parts-catalogue/index.aspx (http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/services/online-parts-catalogue/index.aspx)

And then look through the 'Online parts catalogue' (also apparently available as a download from somewhere on this forum) to find the part numbers you need, phone up the local dealer, order, yada, yada, yada.

Just get a good one second hand, ebay is your friend in this scenario. I picked one up with perfect bearings for £30 odd a few years ago

Any good bearing supplier will have them if you can get the size code stamped on the bearing or from the service manual. They'd probably be cheaper than from Yamaha too
