Bearing question

[DMCTurbo]

The upper idler bearings in the rear skid are 6006 DU which are $37 each from Yamaha. What is the difference between the 6006 DU and a 6006 2RS? The 6006 2RS is $13.99.

Thanks.

DMC Turbo,
I have found the best priced bearings for the skid can be found at Royal Distributing.
They sell NTN; so a decent quality bearing for the skid at far better rate than the number you are quoting Yamaha.

Double check the ID and OD
High rollers are a 6006 2rs
55mm OD 30mm ID; 13mm
part no: 04-167OR

I did find that bearing at Royal but wasn't sure if it was the same.

Perfect thanks much appreciated.

CV Tech AAB has very good prices on bearings also. The AAB 6006 is $7.25, the KBC is $14.59.
You could call and ask, as they also carry other brands that may not be listed. The number is 1 800 518 7220.
I usually get my bearings there since the dealer pricing on bearings blows everyone else away.

If you search this forum, there have a number of bearing threads.
It's just difference in part number nomenclature. 6006 is industry standard designation for a bearing with 30mm ID x 55mm OD x 13mm wide. 2RS is "2 rubber seals". DDU means same thing.
Best to use bearings made in Japan (NSK, NTN, Nachi, Koyo to name a few) or Germany/Europe such as SKF.
KBB is Korean Bearing Co.
ABB is a Swedish company. Ok to use these.
