How easy are the resr suspension bearings to change on a Zesty 214 or 314? Is it something a home mechanic can do or is it an LBS job? (Even if their not Lapierre dealers?)

I've got a friend with a Stumpy and he reckons the rear suspension bearings need replacing every 1000KM or so.

Also I can't find anything on the Lapierre website about warranty, how long is the warranty on the Lapierre bikes.

Really easy to replace…4 of the bearings are in the link, the other 2 are the main pivot. Last pivot runs on bushes so even easier!
Best thing to do is strip the bike down (leave the bearings in) and feel if they are smooth or not. If not replace…you'll save time and money by just replacing the bearings that need replacing. You can also pop the covers off the bearings and pack in some more fresh grease.
