I do know that, Alley. I had already looked and compared them . I always do my best to help myself find the answers before asking anything . I wanted to check if I had missed something obvious to others with some experience.It's that one slight variation thing that auto makers do with parts to make them non-interchangeable, that makes me very wary of trusting any inclination to assume anything . Vendor information on specs for the scooter parts I've needed has often been sparse at best. But the question arose because they then list calipers (even without a brackets) as "Front caliper" and "Rear caliper". Why, if they are not different? I myself, am not seeing a difference between them. The caliper itself, looks to the eye to be interchangeable. The bracket is all that appears to be specific to front or rear. I've spent more than I thought I'd have to on this so far, but still worthwhile, I hope . But I'd rather ask the questions than to lose the money, if the parts aren't right. Also, being a first time scooter owner and of a less popular Chinese model, it's been quite different for me than it has always been to shop for parts for my common pickup. The only thing that I haven't disassembled to clean up and/or fix is, the engine itself. So truly, I have done much without asking questions but, certainly appreciate the input from anyone with experience when I need it. Wow! Your experience with that nurse certainly isn't confidence inspiring but, hopefully yes, everything is just a matter of time to heal up. My buddy's operation just like yours, did take quite a few months to feel back to normal so, take heart and time for it. If you are too leery of that nurse, I would think that you could talk discreetly to the DR about having a different one to help ? My buddy had such terrible pain with his crapal tunnel that, I'd hope you'll see it through. He's doing very well with it now and basically pain free  |

Dagnabbit!
So, I have a similar dilemma with the rear caliper on this scooter, frozen guide bolts. So my question now is , are the front and rear calipers the same? Just a matter of orientation? It appears that way (By looking) unless, I'm overlooking something.

Thanks, rks Since I can't quite grasp this one overall, I am thinking to stay with the safest option as far as fit goes and to stay with the ones that your table points out as closest in size to what is already on there, the 110/100/12s, or the 110/90/12s (110/90/12 Not available in the SL26s that I see, though). The other dimensions may offer benefits or disadvantages, but what I am most worried about is ending up with some clearance issue that is only discovered after mounting the tires and then not being able to return them. So far, I've found several things on this scooter that are not in common with other 150s, and references are few. My luck isn't usually too great so, I'm thinking the safest option is probably wisest for me I already purchased slightly lighter sliders( 18x14x12) than the rollers that were in there so, I don't want to go too backward here, lol! |

Gotcha , thanks Alleyoop And yes, I definitely have referred back to your suggestion and this thread for guidance and it has been a huge help .I hope ya know that my reaching out for final assurance is for a lack of confidence in my own assimilation of all the info that has been offered up, not at all in the fine peeps here or, the info itself |

After a few discussions with Motorcycle superstore here's their take ; They wanted me to stay with a 110/90/12 but found that they didn't have both a front AND rear tire within a certain brand and make to achieve that, other than in Shinko tires. For better quality, they agreed that I should go with the SL26's but came to the conclusion that I may run into a clearance issue with a 130 for the rear. So they suggest the 120/70/12s in the Pirelli SL26's for both.
How does that sound ? What would you all say that I would experience with those, as regards RPM and top speed, etc?

I ordered a couple of the 2RS's. I'll post back after removing these from the hub so that the info is here for anyone searching the subject in the future |

Excellent references Alleyoop , thank you. The ones that I came across helped but those seal it for me (Pardon the pun !)I see how you come to that conclusion. I tend to agree. cyborg if I hadn't run into all the horrors that I have in here, I might. But, a little insurance for so little money this time, is pretty worth it to me . If I don't see any damage, I will repack them for backups in a pinch, though |

Thank you Alleyoop ,no. I saw that one and it doesn't have the characteristics of mine on the outer shell at all. It's perplexing, that it does have the exact part number. By what I've read, the "203" in the "6203" refers to the sizes of the dimensions Diameter (Outer): 40 mm , Diameter (Inner): 17 mm, Width: 12 mm. The "6" refers to whether its a radial bearing, axial bearing, etc; The trailing letters and numbers are the ones that worry me. I'm not sure if they are manufacturer specific and not necessarily cross referable by industry standards, inconsequential or , very consequential. The response that I got from one vendor so far, tells me that they don't have any specific knowledge about bearings to help me choose(Not a criticism) . I have to clean out the hub in this swingarm before I'll even try to get them out . Hopefully, they are in good shape (Dummy forgot to check movement in the wheel before removing it), in case I need to re-pack and re-use them. I'd really rather replace them for surety though, since the pounding that I had to do may have weakened them. |

I have found "6203" bearings but am unsure if they are a suitable version as the ones that I find are followed by different numbers than mine, such as "6203 2RS C3". I know that sometimes, those differences can mean a lot. Other times, not so much.

Agreed! Actually, there's probably more on ME than on the bike now! We are 4 short blocks from the beach. No escaping the salt and the moisture here.

Banged the bejeezees out of it, borrowed up my buddys' torch....  Said a prayer...  My Aunt said, " Praise God and pass the sledge hammer!" Lol! I want to replace the bearings down in the swingarm but have searched and don't find these particular bearings anywhere. I'm sure, I'll need another "C" clip too. I have emailed a couple of places for help but, if any you are "In the know" about these, I'd welcome the info! The number on them is "6203-88-21E"  |
