Bearing Hell!

[Guest]

Hi Hoping some bright spark can help me out. I am currently restoring my gs750b (see my other thread for piccies) and am having the frame and swinging arm power coated. Can anyone tell me the spec for replacement bearings? Don't fancy £20 a side from Suzuki, so going to try a bearing specialist.
Help!

There is going to be a bit of speculation here, but if you could be more specific, ... which bearings?

If you are asking about swingarm bearings, they are available for US$13.06 each, so you should be able to get both of them for your 20 pounds.

While you are powder coating the frame, don't forget to mask off the steering head bearings, as well.
Actually, you might as well pull them, mask off the area where they sit, and replace them, too.

Sorry my fault, it is the swing arm bearings I was after. Don't happen to have the part number by chance?

I've knocked the headstock races out and will make sure they are masked off (or whatever they call it when you powdercoat stuff)

If the old bearings are ok leave them in there. Just get some threaded M10 studding bar, a couple of penny washers and nuts to fit and replace the spindle.

Degrease (with white spirit or similar) the bearings before you send off for PC. This avoids any grease melting during the baking process and leaking out marking the finish.

If you need new bearings Wemoto have them for £15.20 the pair:

Tape off or plug anything you don't want powder coated, these guys will powder coat everything if they arent.

In order to find the part number we will need to know the make, year, and model bike you have.

Suzuki parts numbers can be decoded to get the dimensions usually.

A 750B would be a 1977 GS750. They only had one 750 that year.

cheap enough and you may be able to take the dimensions to an industrial supply type of place and get something cheaper.

You may be able to flip these to get a fresh bearing surface thus saving expense. I did it on my bike and it worked fine.
