Winter rebuild

Now that winter is here I am doing a complete tear down of my '86 200. So far I have sent a pair of '89 forks and the rear shock to Fredette racing products. I am working on replacing the bearings in the swing arm and dog bone. I have found almost every thing I need for this at https://www.off-roadinnovation.com/?page=home. The only part I have to source from ebay is the upper sleeve 42036-1119.

OUCH. I know the dogbone bearings are made of pure gold, price wise. They weren't even cheap 30 years ago.

Good luck on the build. Throw a few pics up when you can.

Got the swing arm and dog bone bearings out. The upper linkage bearing is still good.

Nice tidy work area.
Looks really weird to have all of that extra real estate on the bench;
Almost didn't recognize the motor - looks so small! :lol:

Gregor at Off Road Innovation has been a key player in my rebuild as well.


What are your plans for the cylinder?
is it nice enough that a piston swap alone will suffice?

I got the bearings from Gregor.
