is it possible to change the rubbers in the top of the shock and the swingarm on the sz?

Yes, but you will probably need a press to remove/refit them


Item #3 for the bushes in the swing arm

Doesn't look like the original shocks have replacement bushes, but I can't see why you cannot get a non Suzuki item if you get the sizes

You wont need a press............cut the old ones out with a knife or hacksaw blade, and then fit the new ones with a bit of studding and some large washers and some deep sockets or tubing, aided by some grease or washing up liquid. The metal spacer needs removing before you try to install!

I bought some replacement bushes from a guy at Stafford last year...........or was it the year before?

you can press them out with a vice and a couple of sockets and a bit of care

I did try that........








...............Now got a shiny new vice


It was easier for me to take the swing arm down to my local garage and buy the lad a beer!
