Jim Snell - USA - Tips for replacement of bearings in the suspension linkage Trials

A video by Jim Snell, for 25 years, formerly a spokesman for the GasGas motorcycle company. ~ Aware that few people on Earth possess the detailed knowledge of the older GasGas Trials machines, Jim has chosen to share some of his videos that cover the mechanical aspects of these older machines built prior to 2002. In this video, Jim Snell, shows you how to easily replace the bearings in your linkage arms (dog bones) on your modern trials motorcycle

I have learnt so much from you over the years and still keep learning from you thank you very much for years and years of help! 🖒

Jim, how did you get the dent out to make the interior perfectly round again to accept the new bearing?

Hello Stephen, As I explain in the video, the dented one that is shown first is an example of a ruined one. And as I say in the video, it should be replaced. The one shown in the rest of the video is not that one, but is a good one. Best regards in sport, Jim Snell
