dingy Posted July 23, 2011 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus1300 Posted July 23, 2011 Share #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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted July 23, 2011 Share #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.

Pegasus1300 Posted July 23, 2011 Share #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 Share #8 Posted July 24, 2011 I'll look at that one and see if it scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
