PROX Linkage Bearing Kit for HONDA CR 80, CR 85 1996-2007

The PROX 26.110045 linkage bearing kit is designed for HONDA CR 80, CR 85 from 1996 to 2007. The linkage connects the swingarm to the shock and works on every bump. Its needle bearings are exposed to water and mud: seized or rusty, they hold back the rear suspension and make the rear end harsh and vague.

Fitting tips

1. Support the bike with the rear wheel off the ground and remove the linkage.
