FAQs

What is included in the Factory Links Linkage Bearing Rebuild Kit?

The kit includes all necessary components for a full service of your suspension linkage, such as needle bearings, collars, pins, and oil seals, specifically for the lower shock absorber connection.

What is the primary benefit of using this kit?

The primary benefit is restoring your Gas Gas EC 250 2024's suspension linkage to its original, OEM-quality condition, leading to improved handling, smoother operation, and enhanced performance.

Is this kit compatible with other Gas Gas models?

No, this specific kit is designed exclusively for the 2024 Gas Gas EC 250 model. Please check compatibility for other models.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

Yes, installation typically requires specialized tools for pressing in bearings and seals, along with standard motorcycle mechanic tools. Refer to your service manual for specific tool requirements and torque specifications.

How often should I replace my linkage bearings?

The replacement interval depends on riding conditions and frequency. It's recommended to inspect linkage bearings regularly, especially after heavy use or exposure to harsh elements, and replace them when wear is detected or as per your service manual's recommendations.

What are the seals made of?

The seals in this kit are Nitrile Butadiene Dust Seals, designed for durability and protection against contaminants.

What material are the pins made from?

The pins are manufactured from 52100 High Grade Steel for strength and wear resistance.

Troubleshooting

Stiff suspension movement after installation

Ensure all bearings and seals were installed correctly and are not binding. Verify that all components are properly aligned and that the linkage bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Some initial stiffness may be present but should dissipate with use.

Leaking seals

Check that the seals were installed correctly, with the lip facing inward to retain grease and exclude contaminants. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of damage. If leakage persists, the seal may be damaged or improperly seated.

Noise or clicking from the linkage

This could indicate worn or improperly installed bearings. Re-inspect the installation and ensure all components are seated correctly and free from play. If the noise persists, the bearings may have failed prematurely, or there might be an issue with the linkage arms themselves.
