and now I'll go try to find another video that actually shows what is done to disassemble and grease the bushing since this one didn't actually show any of that with the camera angles used. so close, yet so far!

Hey mate, Thanks for the upload just did my linkage yz250, I watched this vid a couple of times before I did mine and much appreciated !

This camera guy sucks i cant see anything hes doing until after its done already

How to clean and grease a cleaned and greased linkage... good stuff...

Great info but camera man needs some tips

this works pretty good if your needle bearings arent packed full of shit. first time i took mine out there is rust mud and water everywhere lol

6:12 Those foot pegs look vicious. Hahaha.

did he grease his ears to get the bushings installed?

Tnx! great video

You know your rich when you have a Digital torque wrench

Makes it a lot easier when you working in a bike that brand new!! Just raced a couple times!

electronic torque wrench omg, i want one :D

man i wish I could keep my bike so clean. I ride way more than I clean, but i do lots of oil changes at least

Thank you for the video. I replaced all my bearings and greased them I have 2 washers that came with the kit, cannot find where they go do you happen to know? I have the same bike and it doesnt look like there was washers on yours There wasn't any washers on it when i took it apart.

REMEMBER PROTECTION IS KEY!

my ktm exc 125 04 mod when i sit on it, it creaks badly, it comes from the rear shock.. do i have to change it? is there some way to fix it? ty :)

30 to 45 min....naaa more like 3 hours

Agreed ! I do mine every 3 rides. Takes about 40 minutes to do it this way. and every 3 times I do it, I'll do the shock/swingarm bearings too.

I just bought a 13 honda crf250, the manual says to change the piston every 6 races, where i race that would mean a new piston every hour and a half lol

No ERomano55, to do the job properly, it will take much longer than 30-40mins as this video shows. There is NO way you can do it in 20mins, and if you are, you are not doing it properly. If you took your time and did it properly, you could do it every 3 years min, not every 3 rides. First of all, clean out the bearings completely in a solvent so there is NO trace of any old grease or dirt. Repack thoroughly with a high quality waterproof grease. It might a few hours, but it lasts a min of 100hrs

haha bob, see it's ridiculous :P I guess that's only for the pro's being on the limitter all the time. then still it's pretty early

yeah i know a couple guys with them theyre sick!...700 bucks but still sick

What kind of grease can I use?

the annoying squeaking sound went away lol, but i found that when i sprayed it everywhere it didnt go away until i sprayed under it completely

I take off the subframe before I do my linkage, it make it sooo much more easier and better to get at.

funny thing is my bike seized the swing arm bearings during a 4 mile woods ride, it handled like shit and everyone laughed at it squeaking all of the time.

If you don't be carefull. You mean if you aren't carefull

On my bike the little baring needles fall out when I took it apart WTF wasn't even a yr old, LOL

BRING BACK STEVE MATTHES!

well, i´d like to have a mechanic...;)

that happened on my trail bike, i just sprayed chain lube everywhere around it :)

1:58 deez nuts

did it work? lol

bike is brand new wtf

haha lol

Linkage bearings locking up after 20-30 hours of riding on a brand new bike ? Are you fucking kidding ? O.o My collegue is a test rider for suzuki, They also reccomand to change pistons after 20-25hours of riding. Whilst testing the rode the crap out of a brand new bike hitting the rev limitter everytime, They got 200 hours out of it on a rmz450... But bearings seizing after 20-30 hours ???? I'd say that's a hoax..

The way he has his hat over his ears bothers me

Good video but very bad camera work, we didnt saw anyting how you remove the iner parts. Camera posktion is bad. Anyway thaks for sharing :)

What the fuck is wrong with this camera man, half of the angles you cant even see what the mechanic is doing.

You lost me when you were pulling parts off....more details are needed to teach a newbie how to do this for the first time.

nahh i know what im doing when working on my bike, you obviously dont know what your talking about for saying every 3 years to clean and regrease them, the bearings will be 100% shot. and yea it takes me 30 minutes to clean and repack them with grease , anyone with half a brain can do it right in under an hour

The camera work is TERRIBLE. Can’t even see what your doing. Very poor

He uses "um" and "uh" at the end of every sentence instead of periods.
