11 linkage kit on a 13

[andykr87]

I had this problem 2 yrs ago when I serviced my linkage and swingarm bearings. Can anybody confirm how much of a old (up to 11) linkage kit or swingarm kit works on a 13 model? I want to replace everything and wanna do this without spending $200 buying it all in pieces.

It depends on the actual 2013 model you have. They ran 2 different linkages.

I have a single piece dog bone that runs from the frame back and I couldn't find the bushing for this piece through local dealer/importer. I probably could have got it from spain.. In the end they did me a full replacement for quite a reasonable price which came with bearings, bushings, seals, etc.

If you have the 2 separate pieces then the older 11 linkage bushings may fit.. I can't confirm that though.

Thanks for your feedback jakobi. I have the two piece dogbone.
