2016.5 Bearings

[Reid stanley]

I would like to replace all the drive bearings. Has anyone found a better bearing that what came stock? Are all the bearings the same? I greased the bearing behind the secondary and there wasnt much grease, at 3000 miles. Im assuming the bearings from the 2015 to 2016 are different.

For what i can see all 4 bearings are different.
Chain case bearings are 2602-281 and 2602-734.
Secondary 2602-524
Bearing behind caliper 2602-198

If you know there is nothing wrong with them other than just the miles and time put on them just open, flush out old grease with wd40 and compressed air, repack with good grease! A needle fitting on a greases gun works nice to refill bearing.... A tip is to just do this at the end of every season on every bearing and you'll never replace one. I make this one of my got nothing to do early spring/ summer chores. Saves a bit of money too! I would not still be sleding if it cost me what it cost you guys in Canada.....Cheers!
