Long shot but does anyone know whether the rocker arm bearings and the dog bone bearings are the same size? I've taken mine down for a re-grease and they're shot to shit. All the bushings look good but the cases and needles are dead. I'm guessing i can source these bearing fairly easily from a bearing shop along with the seals?

The parts fiche do not give bearing dimensions. I think the rocker and dog bone bearings are the same size

I will check the All Balls linkage bearing kit I have when I get home tonight. I will verify that they are the same size, and see if I can confirm dimensions for you.

I really hate using All Balls bearing kits as I think that they are cheap Chinese bearings, but I do not think that Pivot Works makes kits for the 2018+ models. It would be good to know if we can source a well made Japanese or German bearing for the linkage.

Good on you! That'd be great. Plan is to get some SKFs and seals to throw it back together

I think they are all the same except the lower shock bearing

Anyone considered making bushes out of vesconite to do away with this issue?
I fitted the synergyseals teflon coated bushes on mine and they lasted forever, but i suspect they had a bit higher friction, I also mostly rode dry weather. Vesconite should be more slippery - there are some good videos of it being used on dakar car suspension bushes

Got my old bearings out last night. I'm doing a run to the shop today, I'll make a parts list including seals when I'm done. Might make a good sticky?
