I've gotta do headset bearings soon, so figure I should prob do wheel bearings too, whilst it's apart.
I get it wet and dirty occasionally, don't really want it failing.
Does anyone have info on the part numbers for universal replacements?
with the bearings its worth paying for made in europe ones as they last three times as long . they cost alot more but are worth the money . an SKF rather than KOYO is the way to go
also if you get a bearing sealed on both sides you can open the seal on one side and add an extra amount of grease of a high quality . i learned this from my previous bike that [ honda xrl 650] needed regular bearing replacement
Don't add grease to a 2RS bearing. The amount in there is optimal. Pack more in and it hurts performance and can blow a seal. There is also the possibility the added grease could be incompatible with what is already in there. Japanese bearings are fine, as are American and European. It's Chinese bearings that are suspect. SKF is a worldwide company. I used Japanese SKF bearings on my bike.
