I'm working on replacing the pivot bushings for the needle bearings.
Good lead from member (Alancop)! I'm getting mine hopefully today.
So, I went into the Proven tricks and tips part of this Forum
(again thanks, this forum is the shish I could not help but donate a few dollars to the site  ;) ,more to come)
Any way, I armed my self with come knowledge, it seem like a bit work removing this things.
I started with a socket that fitted inside the collar and a hammer a few wacks, just to give it a good try before applying heat and what not, but, it came out with just a few good wacks! and I mean good wacks.
To my surprise it was a single inter collar with plastic bushings? WTF?
Is that factory installed?
I check the manual and it's the same as the 750 F on a 750k hmmm? It's that usual?

And as you can see on the next picture that the collar has a reciding step and it started to indent right into the swing arm, so, it needeed to be replaced, also it was powder coated so the heat baked the bushings I'm glasd I'm doing this, I can only imagine the bushing braking in half while turning.


My concern now is that I may need to cut the collar just enough to accomodate the bearings.
Whay do you guys think?
