            660 tenere shock linkage/swingarm bearings and headstock removal. 
            
             Hello folks. Is there anywhere that does a complete kit to replace all six bearings/seals/bushes/tubes .
             I see wemoto do the swingarm kit and ebay a shock single bearing kit but I got this image from aj sutton? opt_Screenshot_2016-11-26-15-03-04.png http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/921/gbfSP9.jpg And the lower headstock bearing outer casing sits flush with the frame tube meaning conventional removal is not possible,sometimes requiring a bit welded on to aid extraction. Below is a picture of the 2 legged drawer setup that will catch it. Although unattadox the central bolt pushes the arms out when screwed in and when tight against the lip knock the puller down with a drift as normal. opt_20161215_114729.jpg http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/921/m3ry32.jpg Hope this helps other folks with this awkward arrangement.

             Just had to do my bottom rocker; as you say quite a lot of bearings and sleeves. I couldn't find any off the shelf bearings that would fit so just sucked up the cost from Suttons.

             I've found wemoto do the swingarm bearings/bushes/seals in a kit delivered for under �30,which is much cheaper than suttons �112 probably plus vat price,although they don't do the tubes,which are cheap at around �6 each. 
             I'm doing a bit of research as all the linkage bearings/seals /tubes come to we'll over �200. I've stripped this one and got almost all the bearing numbers (TA1720Z,TA1715Z and a hard to read one currently )and they can be bought much cheaper along with the seals. If this all works out the bill could be less than �90 as I'll probably still get the yamaha tubes. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

            Xt660z linkage and swingarm bearing/bushes/seal non dealer alternative 
            
             With the initial yamaha bill over �300 I think it's all sussed now. 
             Swingarm kit from wemoto (bearings,bushes and 4 seals)�28 delivered. 4 off TA1715Z needle bearing, below swingarm and central linkage.�4+vat each. 2 off 17x24x15 (bearing place says TA1715Z again) needle bearing with no other numbers,rear off linkage. �4+vat each. 1 off TA1720z needle bearing,top linkage.�4+vat 8 off grease seals 17x24x3 or 4. �1+vat each Above bits sourced from my local bearing shop but provisionally priced through ebay and google search. I couldn't source the 6 inner tube elsewhere so �78 to yamaha. So with the final bill around �150 it leaves more money for farkles. Hope this helps someone else in the future
