Alternative top bearing for rear Shock absorber
Permalink  
 

These Yamaha top bearings does not last long. Every season I need to replace them.

I found alternative top bearing from Germany for the cost of 15€. It is 1 or 2 mm narrower than original, but in double less price than yamaha's. 

Fits perfectly. Bearing code for googling - GXSW 12.26

Adding photos (comparing original and "German" black bearing).

Well found!
It would be interesting to know what application it was designed for.
Give it a good grease and see how it does, then let us know

Mini stabilizer bush. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Mini-deflex-yellow-engine-stabiliser-bushes-new-set/362573479747~0&frcectupt=true mine are orange....bored out to 10mm on lathe...Maybe 9.5 mm would have been enough.

I believe stabiliser bushes should last much longer than bearing.
I have bought one pair from Steve, but haven’t tried yet to install them.
