Hi all
Need some advise...
My old XT500 is currently in a restoration process, but now I've come to an obstacle. My needle bearings in the swingarm is worn, plus the spacer shaft between the main bolt and needle bearings is also worn. Now, I had this thought of replacing the needles with 4no.off roller bearings. The closest needle bearings that will fit, with some honing, is gonna ruk me R530. The rollers R160. Will this be a good idea, or will the roller bearing not be able to take the punch??
What you think??
