Swing arm repair kit
Does anyone know if a swing arm repair kit (roller bearings, bushes, collars etc) from earlier years will fit a 2003 XT600e?

I've been onto the local Yam dealer who tells me Yamaha don't do a kit as such, the parts have to be bought seperately at a cost of over £100, compared to about half that for pattern parts but the kits i've seen are listed as for '94 models and earlier.

Anyone come across a cheap (but good) pattern part?

The 50 minimum, aint that for a specific payment, perhaps you could try another?

Or else, order some small bits you need anyway, oilfilter, sparkplugs and such..

I really love that shop, great customer service. and they got all the parts for our bikes, at fair prices.

take the bearing and bush to a bearing suplier and it will be a fraction of the cost . i payed about £5 each bearing and while i was at it i fitted wider bearings with a higher load rating . OE parts are a rip off. the bearing place give me the linkage bush for free they are so cheep.
