Title: bearings
Post by: maxi81 on February 16, 2011, 03:06:45 pm

Whats the best place to buy wheel, swingarm and steering head bearings for a RM 400T. Will a normal bearing shop have them?

Thanks

Yes, or 'all balls' do some well priced kits if you shop around on ebay

Be warned ... if you buy a taper bearing set for triples  ie   All balls or Pyramid  you will need access to a lathe ;)
wheel bearings are off the shelf items obtained thru a bearing agent,  with the balls( head set ) take them with you to compare size's.

All BALLS do a swing arm bearing kit for them. Ebay/webshops or go see your local bike shop who is a All Balls dealer.

You will also find that the swing arm bearings are IKO or similar brand which can also be sourced from your local bearing/seal type shop.

The all balls kit comes with spacers etc as well as the bearings.

Wheel bearings are nothing special, again ebay/web stores or your local bearing shop

You will also find a lot of what you need here
