Re: swing arm bush
not too hard a job if you've got some threaded bar and big washers kicking around.
Also a selection of bits of bar to prop the back of the bike up

Re: swing arm bush
You'll probably have to buy them from suzuki, I haven't heard of an aftermarket source, where fits them is a different matter.
Not sure how high speed cornering damages bearings though, thats what they're designed for!

Re: swing arm bush
Couple of things, mine never needed changing in 153,000 miles, I looked at them at 50,000/100,000 and 150,000, and they were still good, that said I did originally when I got the bike grease them as Mr Suzuki is a bit tight with the old grease when they come from the factory, and regularly re-greased.
Fitting can be done quite easily with either a press (which you probably haven't got) or creative use of a good vice and some spacers. Cheers Mark.

Aye, I've always just mullered them out with my Big Hammer and a punch.
