Linkage and Swingarm Pivot Inspection
On a 1993 CR125 with significant riding history, the swingarm pivot bearing and linkage bearings are worth inspecting before each new season. These needle roller bearings are designed for regular re-greasing, and dried or contaminated grease leads to accelerated wear. Clean each pivot thoroughly, pack with a high-quality waterproof bearing grease, and re-torque all pivot fasteners to spec. A few hours of annual maintenance on the rear suspension pivots prevents costly bearing replacement and keeps the handling sharp.
