@Gnasher, can the bearing in the linkage arm be pushed out with your fingers..? or is a press-out, press-in affair..?


Press in/out they're slight interference fit, they don't require high press weights.

That to me looks like 1-2mm or less, so the bearing just need repacking. Lets see what Gnasher says.

Mate that's overall movement at the end of the swingarm.

The bearing in the vid looks buggered, it also very likely the pin is too, probably due to seal failure.

Ive ordered a used rear shock linkage, do you think I will need a new bolt and collar too?

It's impossible to say without stripping it.  It's also very possible the bearings in your second hand part will be shot too, but you could be lucky and the pin/bush (collar) in the bike could also be worn.

I think you'll find OE part only, you'll have to order from a dealer.

Wemoto.com are showing the seals in stock, £5.62 + £3.00 postage to the UK.  Looks like the collar is out of stock though.

Never known them to carry this part or any specific suspension part other than front fork seals and bushes , I can't find the oil seal he needs or the collar he may need? 

Bearings yes, but I wouldn't use them, they're a 3rd of the cost for a reason, but that's up to you. 

Followers will get most parts, on back order within 24 hrs, might take a little longer due to Covid.

Checking the link for the colloar above show an ebay link from Fowlers and it says they have 8 in stock atm - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-Collar-90387-102R4-OEM-MT09-MT09TRACER-FJR1300-FZS1000FAZER-TRX850-R1Z/362502188816?fits=UKM_Make%3AYamaha&hash=item5466d06f10:g:XOUAAOSwQn1e-yxc

And the second link has result after result of genuine seal going for peanuts!


Mate, can you find these?

Mate I'm referring to the parts on Wemoto?


Fowlers will get any Yam part if it's still made and carried as stock in 24 hrs from the EU distribution dept in Holland, if they don't have it.

So ebay is lying. Fowlers don't have any stock as Wayne found, but Yamaha Uk do. Lead time from purchase over the phone to arriving through your letter box atm is 7-10 days.

Looks like Yamaha have changed how the do business, Fowlers used to be one of the main spares importers they supplied most others.  Oh well you learn something every day :)

Gnasher will correct me -

  • if you hold a flat edge to the collar and cant see any daylight between the collar and the edge then your golden. I would also say if you can feel anything with your fingers nails that also a good sign.
  • Also those bolts while a bit corroded also look fine - but do the above check on them.
If they are good, they should clean-up with some Autosol.

I have a suspension linkage coming, should be here on Friday, maybe this will come with some collars,So I'm going to clean everything up while the swing arm is off, also have some new bearings for the pivot shaft which I might put on too.
