No3 is described as cylindrical bearing

Can you recheck and confirm

It's classed as a shim in the parts diagram

Are you needing them? If I remember right I may have a couple of the end caps. The washers sometimes stick inside

Thanks for reply.
Just need thickness.
I have a yzf 750 swing arm so washer size is different but shim thickness is the same.

from memory is was a substancial thickness, 2mm maybe?

it was a few years ago that i re-furbished my swingarm bearings though, be aware that the long internal "bearing" surface may be pitted beyond use...when you rebuild it pack it with a ton of grease.

Thanks banner

About 2mm seems right if I remember, and i can find out if I fit and measure just didnt want to lay on garage floor and fiddle about to check.

Inner bearing and all are fine, thanks for heads up.
