During a great days riding yesterday @ Diablo, i notices i have alot of play (looseness) on my Morewood Izimu Pivot....

While i thought it was a Bearing issue, i noticed that the SPI2 does not use bearings....

The SP2 is in great shape.... and was really tight... it just started happening this week... and i actually feel the looseness while riding....

Can anyone refer me to a few tips or tricks that can remedy this issue? Since there is no bearings... i can order another SPI2 but i don't think that'll help!

Thanks!!!!

Are you sure there aren't bearings? I have an '07 Izimu and there are definitely bearings in there. One on each side of the frame. It also has similar (the same?) components as what you show above.

There are two bearings (one on each side) that are a press fit into the rear triangle shell. Those linkage bolts run through the bearings. Great thing about M'wood is those bearings are common and easily replaceable (think I paid $12 for mine).

Yeah you have 2 bearings 1 on each side. Didnt you have the bike resprayed recently? Did you leave the bearings in or what? There is a washer between the inside of the swingarm and the downtube.
You need to take it apart and see how its all looking.

I have two brand new bearings I'll sell you dirt cheap if you want them. They were spares for my Izimu but it was stolen, no use for them now.

Sorry to hear about your Izimu, dude!

What size are the Izimu bearings exactly?

I forget the exact size, it's printed on them, I can tell you when I get home from work. RS3800 or something like that...

 

[WhoRyder]

yes hit me up... i'd be more than willing to take them off your hands...

I'm sure you have? but in case before you go after new bearings, check ya rear shock DU/reducers on the rear shock connection to the link, be a pain if it was that and often overlooked for play, but first place I always check till going 3pce/IGUS.
