March 14, 201412 yr Hi does anyone know what bearings and bushes are needed for the swingarm thanks Lee
March 15, 201412 yr Author I,ll give them a call I was hoping to get part numbers so that I can stay clear of main dealers, the costs they charge are extorsionate I bought my lost lot for a scorpa separately from companies that just deal in bearings etc and saved about £60 so was hoping to do the same thanks
March 15, 201412 yr I understand about saving money but dealers have to make a living, they would soon be out of business without support of riders, plus you get free support and advice when you really need it
March 15, 201412 yr You dealer will be able to work with the part #'s from this pdf.Your parts are on page 9,and the #'s are on page 10. http://www.lewisportusa.com/manuals/ossa/ossa_manual_parts.pdf Edited March 15, 201412 yr by ric h
March 16, 201412 yr The OSSA swingarm/linkage doesn't have 'regular' bearings. They are bushings. Are you sure they are bad? I doubt you can get them anywhere but a dealer. The prices I saw were not out of sight, but not cheap. http://trialstribulations.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_66&products_id=2254 Edited March 16, 201412 yr by lotus54
March 16, 201412 yr Oh. I don't think there is room... Unless the pins are smaller And/or swingarm bored out. Not sure either is a good idea.
March 17, 201412 yr Author Yeah they are definately gone. I would say they are a bush but they are called bearings on there description. As for people saying about dealers having to make money I understand that but dealers only do the same thing as I'm doing so why should I let them make the kit up when I'm quite capable of making a kit up through a little research.
March 17, 201412 yr Yes, a plain bearing. I really doubt you can find them anywhere else, and not likely the pins. maybe the seals. If you do, post it up. Edited March 17, 201412 yr by lotus54
March 17, 201412 yr Author The only part I can't find is the swingarm bush pins but I will keep hunting??
March 18, 201412 yr You need 4 off SKF part number PCMF161817E for the swinging arm (item 3 on the parts diagram) plus one more for the chain tensioner if you need it (and you likely will !) Also 4 off PCMF 161812E (Item 39) Cost me £1.50 each about 2 months ago from local bearing factors. I've drilled and cross drilled my pins to allow PTFE grease injection via a special adaptor that screws into the screw hole in the end of the pins. If the pins get dry, they rust and the rust wears the bushes. p*** easy to replace - I made a pin type tool on the lathe to tap them back in. They're delicate and can twist when pressing back in even though they aren't particularly tight. Good Luck.
