January 4, 201115 yr Good news all round then ... Thanks Nigel Best of balance. Neo funny but as i haven't had a sherco for a few years i thought it was a money saving thing but maybe not?
January 4, 201115 yr Pretty sure its the same my 2011 bushes etc all look like a direct swap. I agree. I greased mine 2 weeks ago, everything looks exactly the same as any other sherco apart from the lack of bearings !
January 11, 201115 yr Finally managed to collect the all balls kit, has all the bearings & sleeves for the dogbones as well as where the linkage connects to the swingarm, lower shock bearing & seals as well
January 13, 201115 yr funny but as i haven't had a sherco for a few years i thought it was a money saving thing but maybe not? Might save money to the rider over time as compared to those bearing. I was going to try the bronze if I needed them, anyway. Suppose this just confirms it. Still think they will require lots of good grease an overpacking to keep water out, but should not suffer from the corrosion problems of the others. Wonder if they did the brake pedal as well? I did that one , what, over two years ago? I is still fine.
January 13, 201115 yr Copemech, following advice from yourself, i made a break pedal bush out of Aluminium Bronze which we had in work, No wear at all on it yet so its definately a better idea. Cheers
January 14, 201115 yr I just repacked my late model 2010 2.9 and noticed that the linkage uses bushings instead of bearings. I'm not sure when the 2010s started getting these.

January 14, 201115 yr Thanks for sharing that with us Did you notice any wear on those bushes? Best of balance. Neo I'll check when I get home, as I'm not completely done, but the only damage I noticed was some minor surface rust and corrosion. This leads me to believe they're made of steel, not brass.
January 15, 201115 yr I'll check when I get home, as I'm not completely done, but the only damage I noticed was some minor surface rust and corrosion. This leads me to believe they're made of steel, not brass. Just for clarification, the little tophat things(inserts or inner race) should be steel I would think, and will rust with water incursion, this I would call the bushing. The part that these go into, roller bearing or other, I would call the "bearing", and I am thinking the new ones are of bronze material(yellow metal), which in itself should not rust. There are other possible material combinations here, yet normally not simlar materials.

January 15, 201115 yr Hi Lumpylion, Any chance of uploading a photo or two Best of balance. Neo Well, the linkage is all back together, but I can photograph the top hat bushing installed if that would help.
