Excellent write-up, and just what I was looking for now. Noticed today that my rear suspension squeeks like an old door, and the first thing I found was this! Thanks! :yahoo:

Thank you kind Sir!

If it's squeaking it really is time!

Now get the tools out and give it a go!!!!


...and don't forget beer!!!

Bloody great write up there mate.
I've had the shop remove the squeak once, now it's my turn to service it before it comes back.
Good to see Ten dirtier than mine for once, made me feel good.
Thanks mate.

Thanks....(it'll be that French dust and mud we have here...great!!!!)

awesome ohlins! i just did this today inspired by this post and did it need it there was barely any greese in there :eusa_clap: thank you, i did notice that there was some play in one of my bearings, the one that bolts to the frame of the bike in the aluminium link piece one of the propper needle cage bearings. I was wondering what do i need if i want to replace these? is it just the bearing itself or do i need the whole link? its the one that yopu have to remove the chain roller to get the bolt out hopoe that helps cheers!

Thanks for the kind words. :)

You will press the bearing cage out..heat the elbow up with a small blow torch and use a socket of the same diameter,using it as a drift in a vice.(with a larger diameter socket over the other side so as it will plop out into it.

Check for part number on line and order one either from Yamaha or www.bearingboys.co.uk (for this you'll need a serial number or measure the dimensions and search for it on the web site)

Heat the elbow again and press the new one in after keeping it in the freezer for a good long while...that's all there is to it.

AWESOME! exactly the info i neded you legend! no need for the vice and drift though theirs a 10 ton bearing press in the garage :HappyRoll_ANPIUI: but i will heat/freeze it , thank you!

Excellent!....Great you have access to a press...that'll make it all very easy!
