this is something i have been mulling over. from my local GG dealer i can get a full linkage kit (bearings, seals and pins) but the lower shock mount is all sold individually so i was thinking that the pin would wear slower than the needle bearings (meanng i would most likely only need to replace the needle bearings and reuse the pin), your post indicates the other way round anyone care to comment on this?

Great, you just did the rear end too. Thanks for the heads up and link to the SKF tutorial. I bought a whole rebuild kit from a member here several months ago, so I have the hardware I need (I think), but I'll only replace if wear if evident like you did. We'll see! Re: the chain guide, I'm pretty sure it's the OEM one and, despite reading some grumblings about it, I've been pretty happy with it. I keep an eye on the rollers, bolts, and side sliders and it's been fine - no issues. It is attached with only one bolt to the swingarm (so it can pivot front and back) so it's not as solid as aftermarket ones, but it seems to have survived lots of time in the rocks just fine. The GasGas chain guides are waaaaay more quiet than the hard plastic Beta uses.

Have you tried them yet? 120 front/160 rear? I was thinking of these for when the Pirellis I have now are worn out.

The wife is loving she can reach the ground now. She can also start it easier, usually first or second kick now.

Not mm, this is 20 minutes from my place in Maricopa. I've been trying like hell to get local riders down here to check it out and no one has taken me up yet. The trail possibilities out here are endless. Just two of us are putting in single track so it's been slow going, so far we have 3 loops with about 30+ miles total. Super slow technical to uber fast twist and go!
