2008 beta rev 3 bearings for the swinging arm , £60 surely there is an alternative or somewhere cheaper , would be greatful if somebody could give me some info

for once this is a pretty standard bearing ( 4 ) Take your arm to a bearing dealer, cost me about 15 all in but no bush inserts

Just search bearing suppliers online and it will give you plenty of companies that can supply the bearings next day from stock, you will need to give them inside diameter, outside diameter and width. You normally get a choice of quality with prices to reflect. The bush inserts can easily be made by local engineering companies, often pays to get a few sets made up at once though.

When you're searching for bearings don't forget that some needle bearings have 1 or 2 small seals built in them.

Like this one:

There should be a reference number somewhere on the bearing if it's a standard one,... usually on one end, just like the one above ^^

Get a lip sealed bearing if you can, keeps all the crap out ..... the one above is lip sealed
