G'day,

Does anyone know what the needle bearing in the swingarm of the RVF is supposed to be?

On Akhara and cmnsl it lists the part as 91071 MR7 003 (28x37x30) I sourced a bearing using those dimensions locally but this bearing does not fit inside the swingarm, 37mm is the outermost measurement of the outer dust seal so the bearing has no chance.

So I ordered the part off the part number direct from Honda thinking the dimensions on the part fiche must be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, but upon arrival, the bearing is exactly the same and no good.

What's got me puzzled is that the sleeve that fits inside the bearing is 25mm OD? And the internal bearing housing more like 33mm I'm thinking the bearing needs to be closer to 33x25x30.

After searching some old threads most are in relation to the NC30 and not the 35 which i know they are different, despite the manuals both stating that they are the same part number?

The old bearing is in a million pieces as anyone who would've taken one of these out before would know it's a mess and so is unable to be measured.

After months of stripping, cleaning and parts ordering i was about to start the reassembly process and first part to be installed and i've hit a snag already!!!!

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers

Chris

I'm looking at a fiche that has 91071 MT7 003 and 96100-60030-10 for the beargins.

the only 37mm note I see is 91258 HB3 003 37x25x6 < is that the seal?

Yeah that is the seal and the 6003's are the sealed bearings.

Which parts fiche are you on?

Ahh i think you've found my stuff up!

Thanks CMS! I misstook the T for an R in the part number, all my cross referencing and re reading has sent me blind!

For future reference, the parts fiche on cmsnl is wrong for the RVF.

I am using the one i have on my laptop. Don't do the cmnsl stuff to be fair, the official stuff is the key.

Glad you got it sorted.

I use the 89 NC30 one on my laptop as well, but have found the online Lings Honda fiche is pretty good with better pics
