    Cafe inmates, Anyone please help! on RM Suzuki's when you remove the PV governor there is a thrust roller bearing between it (PV Gov) and the actuator assembly. The thrust bearing is open on one side and is closed on the other. When I disaasembled the PV Gov assy the rollers were facing out against the PV governor with the closed plate side against the actuator assy (ball ramp type thing hard mounted onto the engine case). I am questioning the proper installation of the thrust bearing (it was coming apart with missing rollers, old stuff). I want to make sure which way the bearing goes in. The parts Fiche is not clear enough to determine proper installation. Anyone have a shop manual or know from experience? This bike happens to be a 1997 RM125 V model, but I see that Suzuki uses the same PV control design for 125 and 250s for a number of years. Thanks Rob
