Does anyone know the size of the bearings needed for the rear wheel on a 200?
Also why has my 200 got 2 oil seals in the front forks? Is this a benefit, are there any imrovements that i can make to there operation?

Has one of the seals got a pring round it? If so its just a dust cap

All early fantics up til 240 and even some 300s had 2 seals each side. The 300/301 forks had one and a dust seal although two can be fitted here also. If you can make teflon bushes turn them for 0,08-0,1 mm clearance and bin the second seal. If not, dont worry. The forks will suffer from a little stiction but are still better than most bultos, ossas and tys. Only the tlr forks are better me thinks....

oh sorry bearings are either 6302, or 6203 cant remember which. I think the latter

[rontheyank]

The number is on the edge of the bearing, you might need a magnifying glass to see it if you are as old as me. think its a 6203 17x40x12
