I've got quite a bit of movement in the rear linkages (ie about 6mm when lifting the rear wheel...only done 17,00 miles - must be the poor roads and pavements....okay I should have stripped and greased them on a bit more often).
Marc at Marksman (v helpful and supplied the bearings for the rear wheel £44 v £120 from Yam) has been able to identify the bearings in the Al linkage/dog arm but has anyone any idea what the other ones are:
The needle bearing under the swing arm
The bearing in the lower end of the shock (rose joint?)
Also any tips on how to remove the one under the SA? Looks like the shock top bolt is a 'mare to remove.....
Many thx
Tues24 Sept - think all sorted, local Yam dealer is supplying bits that I can't measure until it's all apart. Think fitting the bearing under the swing arm will need to be put in the freezer before v careful pressing in. Not sure about the shock bearing - the micro fiche shows just a sleeve...
Good news is that the Yam dealer thought at worse the current movement would get an advisory, so should be ok even just doing the linkages.
