Default Swingarm Bearing & Seal Kit Question

Hi all

I've just bought a bearing and seal kit for my EC300 swinging arm pivot.

The kit includes:

4x seals - OK
4x bearings - OK
4x Sleeves - But my swinging arm only has 2 sleeves in it. So what are the other 2 sleeves for?



See attached photo of kit.

Thanks, Dave.

The sleeves look like they're different lengths.

Just use the appropriate ones for you bike. You only need two for the swingarm pivot

Bearings and seals are the same for all years but the swingarm pivot bolt diameter changed to a larger size in 2004 or 2005 so only one pair of the spacers in your kit will fit and be used.

The 2 spare sleeves actually came in very handy!

I used them for pressing the new bearings into the swinging arm, worked a treat.

All the best, Dave.
