I bought an extra set of wheels for my 06 yami R6. I had someone pull all the bearings and stuff out to get them powdercoated, and I was told I should replace everything in there since I was already pulling them... but I don't know what all to order. It is literally just the wheels and nothing else. So what do I need to order to make my wheels ready to go on the bike again, and what should I expect to pay?
you dont have to replace the wheel bearings as long as they were in good shape and they were taken out correctly. i have powder coated a lot of wheels and never had a bearing issue and put thousands of miles on the bearings after they were pulled and reinstalled.
haha crap, I am past that point, because I just told the guy that took them out to trash them... my mistake I'm looking on ron ayers to see what I might need to order
You can get the bearing # off the outer race and then order bearings from other places, like Mcmaster - its usually cheaper.
Call Dave at World Wide Bearing if you have any questions. He'll know exactly what you need. Great guy. Should be very competitive on pricing as well. www.worldwidebearings.com 973-857-6464 Feel free to mention my name if need be. I know him pretty well ...
i havent had to get bearings for anything in a while but last time i did they were for and r/c engine and i got them from boca bearings. they were omg awesome. dont think they have them listed by bike but just measure them and see if they have em.
I just did the same exact thing, except I saved all my parts so that I cold ensure I got the correct bearings. I ordered thru flatout motorcycles online, looked up the parts with the parts drawings. If you want bearing numbers I can send them to you.... :up:
Full sets were like $12 from my local dealer, if my memory serves me correctly. They'll know whatcha need, I'd just go price them thru there and if it sounds at all reasonable, support your B&M shops.
Did you keep the center bearing spacer, dust seals, or oil seals? If you didn't you will need that in addition to the bearings.....
