  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

125-200cc Swingarm spacer direction on WR125 2012

Fitting new bearings to swingarm on a 2012 wr125.

Is the parts fiche correct that all 4 spacers go in from the inside or is that a mistake and the larger bore spacers are fitted to the outside and the longer from the inside? Seem a bit random if the fiche is correct?

Handbook is useless as it doesn't show swingarm out.
 
Hmmmm-- All I can remember is the long item is on the inner side so would think the other go outboard , Just one of those things where you put it back together as it came apart so im a little stumped but for sure the long one is inboard
 
they both go in from the inside like the 250/300s im pretty sure. yup random. ran mine like you said you were thinking about(as had bike apart fro months & forgt) but then changed em back as it can damage swingarm or something i believe. search on here think i posted asking the same question for the big bore bikes. common sense would say one in from inside one in from outside to seal the bearings but they have a rubber seal on outside. the swingarm is a very tight fit(must be dead square & tap it in) with both in from inside & much easier to get in if on opposite sides. someone correct me if im wrong here
 
Thanks for the replies. You are correct. I tried it with the short spacers on the outside and it was very tight when the bolt was torqued up. The swingarm became stiff and wouldn't rise and fall. I've now fitted with all spacers as per the parts fiche and it moves effortlessly. I have made a modification though as the simple o ring seems a bit undersealed. I have pushed the outer bearings in 4mm outerand fitted a pair of 28 x 22 x 4mm rotary seals to prevent water ingress when cleaning. It now has double lip seals and an oring. £5.00 for both seals. Can't hurt.
