Motorcycle Headrace Bearing Kit
Slinky Glide headrace bearing kits come with tapered bearings which use rollers, instead of ball bearings. Tapered bearings are engineered to manage radial or downward pressure and thrust or side pressure, while ball bearings are designed for radial load only. Tapered bearings offer a really smooth movement compared to ball bearings.
Motorcycle steering head bearings are the link between the front wheel and the rest of the bike, so they are an important part of any motorcycle. Bearings are in constant use while the bike is moving and they make a big difference to the bike's handling, so require regular maintenance. When they need replacing, a Slinky Glide headrace bearing kit includes the components (some include dust seals) to do this easily.
Motorcycle Wheel Bearing Kit
A wheel bearing kit contains quality double sealed bearings, and some include dust seals. Wheel bearings are important, allowing your motorcycle tyre, hub and wheel to work together. If you notice some movement from side to side or play in your wheel, a whirring noise or slight vibration from your bearings, then it is usually time to change them, and a kit is the easy way to do this.
All the wheel bearings Slinky supply are 2RS – DDU. They are double sealed, manufactured from high strength heat-treated chrome steel, and come ready lubricated with premium grease for added protection serving to reduce vibration and keep water and road dirt out. Many wheel bearing kits also come with a sprocket carrier bearing where applicable, usually available for popular makes like: Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Royal Enfield and more.
Motorcycle Swingarm Bearing Kit
Slinky Glide swingarm bearing kits can use needle roller bearings, deep-groove ball bearings or occasionally tapered roller bearings. This combination of bearings can manage combined radial and axial loads and offers low friction, thus ease of movement when in use.
Manufactured from high strength AISI 52100 chrome steel components, all Slinky Bearings undergo electronic noise and vibration testing according to ANSI/AFBMA Standard 13-1987 to ensure that they are a really high quality component.
Motorcycle Suspension Linkage Bearing Kit
The suspension linkage is the connection between the shock absorber and the motorcycle frame and enables the efficient transfer of forces and the smooth articulation of the suspension, playing a crucial role in the handling and comfort of a motorcycle. The bearings within this linkage are under constant stress as they are close to the road and take all the weather, grit and grime while they’re in use, particularly on monoshock machines where they connect the swingarm to the shock absorber and the frame.
Due to their heavy loads, constant motion and exposure to the aforementioned road dirt, they do wear out in time and need maintaining, which is where a Slinky Glide linkage kit comes in handy. Kits are an easy way to sort out the problem and most linkage kits come with needle roller bearings, many also including bushings made from hardened steel or teflon. Linkage bearings play a really important part in your motorcycle’s handling and will need replacing when they get worn, which is where a Slinky Glide linkage Kit steps in to make your life easier.
