Ryda85 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 any difference in these bearing kits??? just got a gift certificate to rockymountain and i really need some bearings (wheel, steering, swingarm) Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 I've only used pivot works and they are great. Quote
Holyman Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 All of the aftermarket bearings are Chinese as far as I know. If you don't need all the innards, I sell these German made bearings for $15 to BHQ members with free regular mail shipping... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMESE%3AIT Quote
Ryda85 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Posted January 6, 2005 do new bearings come greased or do i have to greae them? Quote
Holyman Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) Grease them heavily inside and out before you install them. Edited January 6, 2005 by Holyman Quote
JARE77 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Ya cant go wrong with Pivot works kits and Bell Ray waterproof grease!! Quote

racer Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 ooo, ok, my bad. if they are sealed, leave them that way. no packing is necessary of a sealed bearing. Quote
