TZ Bearing

[J-Madd]

I put a used TZ bearing I had laying around on my newest 4 mil crank. I just assembled the cylinders in the cage and outer race and stuck it on the crankshaft. I'm looking at pics of TZ bearings and they show an inner race. WTF? Is there more than 1 style of TZ bearing or what?

When you say inner race, are you talking about the groove for the half clip that helpes like the cases up?

The TZ bearing on my 10mil crank has an inner race, the brass holder that keeps the bearings themselves aligned and in place, and an outer race. Hope this helps.

its a comon bearing type like ball bearing needle bearing i think they are called drum roller bearings. the only reason we know them as "tz" bearings is because of the use on the tz road race bikes from yamaha. used to order them through yamaha for the banshee cranks.

 

they use an inner race for the banshee crank..

I just got my new hotrods 4mm stroker crank today with a tz bearing and was wondering if the tz bearing just slides off and do i use a oem key on that crank?

[Z400Banshee]

also is there supposed to be an o ring on the tz bearing becuase mine dont have one

[Kendro]

Yes it will take the same key, The outer part of the tz will slide on and off but not the inner bearing race. As far as the o-ring mine had one but I think you can use the factory half clip also. Maybe someone will verify that.

The groove is for the half clip. It is a common practice to double up that Clip on Higher output motors and there are even a few places you can get a full wrap around C clip that works.

id be carefull when using the full clip. make sure you do a "dry fit" (which you should do anyway) if using the full clip, and make sure no binding takes place. I had that happen to me and had to go back to the factory half clip.

[Z400Banshee]

so the tz bearing just takes the half clip instead on an o ring? just thought it was weird because the stater side has an o ring 

[badassbanshee479]

You use a half moon clip on the pto side not an o ring.
