Yammer Dan Posted July 22, 2011 #1 Posted July 22, 2011 About to buy some wheel bearings on line. 83-93 are the same bearings aren't they?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330556005707&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
dingy Posted July 23, 2011 #3 Posted July 23, 2011 I thought I posted back to this earlier. Damn percocets. They are all the same on the 1st gens. The R(eally)S(low)V(enture)'s are different. Gary
Yammer Dan Posted July 23, 2011 Author #4 Posted July 23, 2011 I thought so Gary. Thanks. 18 bucks for all three bearings?? Don't sound bad I really haven't checked that close just thought it would be nice to do my extra set of wheels.
Pegasus1300 Posted July 23, 2011 #5 Posted July 23, 2011 while you are in there you should also consider replacing the needle bearing that is way back in there. It is also a wheel bearing,often gets neglected and is a proprietary Yamaha bearing so somewhat expensive,but worth doing.
dingy Posted July 23, 2011 #6 Posted July 23, 2011 Not disagreeing with replacing the needle bearing, but it isn't an easy item to do and get right. Takes a guide tool and a press to do it. I tried getting one out of a spare final drive I had, and it did not come out in one piece. After that experience, I have left well enough alone. Gary
Pegasus1300 Posted July 23, 2011 #7 Posted July 23, 2011 not disagreeing with you but my experience was different.The one I did came right out using a blind bearing puller and a little heat.I don't remember how I installed it that was 10 years ago but my usual process is bearing in freezer for 30 min and heat housing.Did drive bike for many miles afterwards with no problems.Maybe I was just lucky???
Yammer Dan Posted July 24, 2011 Author #8 Posted July 24, 2011 I'll look at that one and see if it scares me.
