Good and bad news. bearings ordered thursday, delivered friday morning... happy camper.....
Less than a tenner each... http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p43...duct_info.html http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p43...duct_info.html Although by the time you add the VAT in, the Wemoto price is pretty good as well, and I'd probably go with them for the convenience. Link posted by Uberthumper, clicked on and ordered one of each in the link above. This morning, stripped bike down and found lower one full of water and totally shagged, upper one will be ok with a clean and regrease. Just about to fit the new lower bearing, ****** the link was for two uppers, so i have got to go to a local place monday morning and get a new lower to put the bike back together. My fault as i should have checked but just a heads up in case someone else needs to do this job in the future. Crusty |
I replaced the head bearings in my XT660Z last year with ones from Wemoto. The old bearings were rusty and extremely difficult to get the outer section out.

No problem mate, i should have checked when ordering. have got a new lower this morning @ �20 which is not too bad as it looks to be a more substantial bearing and comes with the lower dust seal.
Just got to finish dremeling off the lower cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Christo_pull_hair::Christo_pu ll_hair: Crusty |

Mine was a real sod. In the end I used a fine cutting disc on the dremmel cutting almost through the cup. So as not to damage the shaft I didn't go all the way through. Then I put in an old <hammer-able> screwdrive in the cut and gave it a medium tap, the cup croacked along the line of the cut. I twisted the same screwdrive and it was enough for the cup to come loose, and be removed. |
Now we know of the premature ware of the head stock bearings maybe it would be best to strip and repack them with quality grease as soon as you get your bike.
If you cant do it yourself, then take your bike back to the dealers and get them to do it. |
Bearings can be bought anywhere, but the bottom seal is not sold alone. You have to buy it from Yamaha with the bottom bearing (which is pricey).

Just doing this now. From the ABR site I found a link to a tool that I plan to but to remove the lower race from the frame. As it it's really hard to get a grip on it. May be useful for others
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-MS0...:coYAAOSw42JWC I have also ordered the webmoto bearing Koyo but I am not sure if that lower has the seal ? any idea ? |
