J-Madd Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneybags Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 When you say inner race, are you talking about the groove for the half clip that helpes like the cases up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&B Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) When you say inner race, are you talking about the groove for the half clip that helpes like the cases up? There is an inner race on the one in my garage JMadd Edited December 17, 2010 by C&B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 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..

dalmaton Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Hello, can i make the TZ roller bearing on the original primary drive on which side the bar of the inner ring would have on the crank site or on the drive side thanks dalmaton Edited April 9, 2011 by dalmaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z400Banshee Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z400Banshee Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 also is there supposed to be an o ring on the tz bearing becuase mine dont have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendro Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 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.

sprinklerman Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z400Banshee Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassbanshee479 Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 You use a half moon clip on the pto side not an o ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
