Shock Linkage Bearing

Can anyone help me with the specification for the "shock Linkage Bearing" on an '05 TE250

The Parts Catalogue describes it in Italian as Cuscinetto Sferico...which sounds awfully like "Spherical Bearing" to me.

The English description only says Bearing (20 ID x 26 OD x 20 Deep).

Has anyone got an old bearing or replacement box lying around...Brand and Numbers would be helpful.

Any assistance would be highly appreciated

One nice thing about bearings, is that they are the same world wide. There are only X amount of bearings in the entire world. Any bearing supply house that has a clue will be able to take those dimensions and provide you with a duplicate to the "husky" bearing.

*If* there is a bearing supply house near you, at a minimum, take in the parts catalog 'blowup' and the dim's and they should be able to get you replacements. Better yet, take them the old bearings.

I bought one from motosportz a while back. I forgot the number but Kelly probably knows.

Thanks guys...I have a friend who owns a bearing shop looking into it for me.

When/if I home in on a suitable bearing I will post up the details.

Seriously considering fitting a gease nipple to the linkage, to lubricate this bearing..

hey seahorse where bouts' did you drill and tap for the grease nipple? considering it on my 08 TXC510, have you any photos?
thanks

for the dogbone you drill and tap right in the center so that when you push grease into the zerk(sp) fitting it lubes the space in-between the two bearings. same with the linkage to the shock, right in the middle. that's where they are on my wr anyway

That was my little winter project, installing grease nipples on mine too some how when i got my bike brand new i was surprise there was none

Pics?

Sorry about the confusion i just read back what i wrote , i should have added was my little winter project i have in mind, i guess this is my french side Oh well i guess i will have to do it this weekend to get you pictures now

Is the lower shock bearing the same from the older style TC/TXC/TE bikes ('06-'07) and the newer bikes ('08-'09)??

Nope, according to the parts fiche, the 08-09 is the same dia., but 4mm shorter (16mm vs 20 mm on the older bikes)
