and now I'll go try to find another video that actually shows what is done to disassemble and grease the bushing since this one didn't actually show any of that with the camera angles used. so close, yet so far!
kiparosu rear suspension linkage bearings are the most overlooked part on a bike. this is how they should look if you properly maintain your bike. you're supposed to clean them every 6 months
Thank you for the video. I replaced all my bearings and greased them I have 2 washers that came with the kit, cannot find where they go do you happen to know? I have the same bike and it doesnt look like there was washers on yours There wasn't any washers on it when i took it apart.
No ERomano55, to do the job properly, it will take much longer than 30-40mins as this video shows. There is NO way you can do it in 20mins, and if you are, you are not doing it properly. If you took your time and did it properly, you could do it every 3 years min, not every 3 rides. First of all, clean out the bearings completely in a solvent so there is NO trace of any old grease or dirt. Repack thoroughly with a high quality waterproof grease. It might a few hours, but it lasts a min of 100hrs
I just bought a 13 honda crf250, the manual says to change the piston every 6 races, where i race that would mean a new piston every hour and a half lol
funny thing is my bike seized the swing arm bearings during a 4 mile woods ride, it handled like shit and everyone laughed at it squeaking all of the time.

On my bike the little baring needles fall out when I took it apart WTF wasn't even a yr old, LOL
StilwellMotovlogger how about the tight skinny jeans or the guys trying to be girls in the girls trying to be guys, shit's nauseating. But I came from a time when baggy pants got popular and I can remember how my dad was, which wasn't pleasant LOL. He just didn't understand and neither do we.
Linkage bearings locking up after 20-30 hours of riding on a brand new bike ? Are you fucking kidding ? O.o My collegue is a test rider for suzuki, They also reccomand to change pistons after 20-25hours of riding. Whilst testing the rode the crap out of a brand new bike hitting the rev limitter everytime, They got 200 hours out of it on a rmz450... But bearings seizing after 20-30 hours ???? I'd say that's a hoax..
nahh i know what im doing when working on my bike, you obviously dont know what your talking about for saying every 3 years to clean and regrease them, the bearings will be 100% shot. and yea it takes me 30 minutes to clean and repack them with grease , anyone with half a brain can do it right in under an hour
and now I'll go try to find another video that actually shows what is done to disassemble and grease the bushing since this one didn't actually show any of that with the camera angles used. so close, yet so far!
How to clean and grease a cleaned and greased linkage... good stuff...
kiparosu rear suspension linkage bearings are the most overlooked part on a bike. this is how they should look if you properly maintain your bike. you're supposed to clean them every 6 months
Great info but camera man needs some tips
I'd say A LOT of tips. Watching the video or just listening to it makes no difference at all, I couldn't see anything he did
This camera guy sucks i cant see anything hes doing until after its done already
Hey mate, Thanks for the upload just did my linkage yz250, I watched this vid a couple of times before I did mine and much appreciated !
6:12 Those foot pegs look vicious. Hahaha.
Yea fk that youd have to replace your boots every 2 months
this works pretty good if your needle bearings arent packed full of shit. first time i took mine out there is rust mud and water everywhere lol
did he grease his ears to get the bushings installed?
Makes it a lot easier when you working in a bike that brand new!! Just raced a couple times!
+BULLOCK ikr lmao mine was caked with mud and dirt and rust
Makes it easier if you also clean your bike properly
Wash your bike and it won't get that bad to begin with ya flaming Muppets
You know your rich when you have a Digital torque wrench
Thank you for the video. I replaced all my bearings and greased them I have 2 washers that came with the kit, cannot find where they go do you happen to know? I have the same bike and it doesnt look like there was washers on yours There wasn't any washers on it when i took it apart.
Damn sorry for late response! Don’t use the fucking washers. Good luck
electronic torque wrench omg, i want one :D
man i wish I could keep my bike so clean. I ride way more than I clean, but i do lots of oil changes at least
REMEMBER PROTECTION IS KEY!
30 to 45 min....naaa more like 3 hours

Agreed ! I do mine every 3 rides. Takes about 40 minutes to do it this way. and every 3 times I do it, I'll do the shock/swingarm bearings too.
What kind of grease can I use?
Bacon grease.
the annoying squeaking sound went away lol, but i found that when i sprayed it everywhere it didnt go away until i sprayed under it completely
Tnx! great video
my ktm exc 125 04 mod when i sit on it, it creaks badly, it comes from the rear shock.. do i have to change it? is there some way to fix it? ty :)
I just bought a 13 honda crf250, the manual says to change the piston every 6 races, where i race that would mean a new piston every hour and a half lol
I take off the subframe before I do my linkage, it make it sooo much more easier and better to get at.
haha bob, see it's ridiculous :P I guess that's only for the pro's being on the limitter all the time. then still it's pretty early
yeah i know a couple guys with them theyre sick!...700 bucks but still sick
BRING BACK STEVE MATTHES!
If you don't be carefull. You mean if you aren't carefull
*careful
lol my bad
+Jonas Lack tried to correct someone and fucked up

What the fuck is wrong with this camera man, half of the angles you cant even see what the mechanic is doing.
haha lol
The camera work is TERRIBLE. Can’t even see what your doing. Very poor
Good video but very bad camera work, we didnt saw anyting how you remove the iner parts. Camera posktion is bad. Anyway thaks for sharing :)
You lost me when you were pulling parts off....more details are needed to teach a newbie how to do this for the first time.
Plenty of top quality vids on youtube . Search replace rear shock linkage cameron neimela
He uses "um" and "uh" at the end of every sentence instead of periods.
