TJ. Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Its a suzuki ts50x 1999 trail bike, Nobody makes patent suspention bushes and bearings although I know you can buy the bearings from any bearing shop.There is also a major lighting problem with bad earths, has new brake pads but the brake are rubbish as drums are worn (yes drum brakes front and rear) Also the forks were twisted but have been straightend out and it needs new wheel bearings and a few other things.TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) For cheap suzuki bits speak to robinsons foundry, they will stock all the bushes and bearings you need, as you say normal bearings can be got for a couple of quid from most stockists. If the drums are worn beyond service limit then look on fleabay for a spare set of wheels, shouldnt be alot for a ts50, also consider checking on gissit for spares from a breaker.The lighting is a ballache, I hate working with electrics and earths, with some time and a meter you should be able to find the problem though edit: make it real fun, find a pair of 17" off a derbi senda and supermoto it Edited October 21, 2009 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
