Wheel bearing question...?

    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.

    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.....
