Curvy swingarm bearing spacer length? - SV650.org

Bibio · 06-03-12, 04:37 PM

is there anyone on the org replacing the bearings on a curvy swingarm?

if so could you measure the centre spacer length please...

or is there anyone with a centre spacer lying around who could measure it..

thanks

I've got a spare in the garage, I'll see if I can drift the bearings out and measure the spacer.

But I'm waiting for a fecking courier to collect something, and as usual I've been waiting in all day for him to turn up

even just the external length of the bearing housing would do as if this measures up to be the same as the pointy then the internals will match.

would be grand if you could. cheers m8.

Diaper may well be doing so shortly. I'll let him know about the thread.

Ok, I'll go and get my trusty Aldi digital vernier out and measure it for you

hope its a big vernier lol...

should have said the swingarm pivot housing

maviczap · 06-03-12, 05:06 PM

Ok can do that no problem

eager to see the outcome of this!

*Edit: - Would the collared pivot spacers in the pointy still be ok to use with the curvy spacer? (Im talking about the end spacers that slide into the bearings and have a collar on them whereas the curvy ones do not have a collar on them) Just thinking whether the length of them are the same or not.

Ok face to face measurement across the swingarm pivot is 224mm

Sound right?

Bibio · 06-03-12, 05:52 PM

sound. cheers mav.

will x ref the pointy one 2morra. i hope.

ahhh Hornstar has seen a flaw in my plan. the bearing end spacers.

oohhh well back to the drawing board....

tanks to all but it's a FAIL. lol
