P/N for GSA1150 Rear Drive to Swingarm bearings

[Mike F]

Anyone know how to source pattern ones? BMW want £40 each!

Its the long thin roller bearings that sit in the swing arm and the rear drive bolts to with the long bolts with the pins on the end.

I believe bearings have unique numbers and with that any bearing shop should be able to get them?

Advice appreciate - apologies if its already on the thread but need em for the w/e and gotta go to work on got 2 mins, meant to look last night but got "distracted".....

I don't remember the numbers - but last time I had to replace them I did look at equivalents and found BMW were cheaper. It seems these are a particular specification and the only people that use them are BMW for this application.

I'm using motorworks bronze bushed paralever bearings and they are a big improvement over the stock bmw bearings. Just make sure you adjust them after a few hundred miles as they settle.

Good lucky with your search. To my knowledge the search has been done to death. There is only one manufacturer of these bearings and the spec is exclusive to the single use on the BMW motorcycle. Hence the price. The volume of sale would not be cost affective for an alternative manufacturer to tool up for manufacture, assuming they could get pattern approval.

FAG Germany is the sole manufacturer.

There are alternatives, but these are not roller bearings.

Edit
The part no is FAG 10-6465A

These guys made their own. I am not sure if they are available but it is worth a read.
