I see the Apex bearings are molded in. What options do I have to replace them?
Thanks Joe

If the wheel is still in good shape, on the 5", you should be able to remove the seal and put new grease in there. If the wheel is trashed, I believe the replacements from yamaha all have replaceable bearings.

No the bearing were never greased and seals are no good. I see the bearings are molded in the idler boogies. Need all 6 boogies and looking for a cheap replacement.
Yamaha offers the updated spoke style wheels ( 5' and 7") that have replaceable bearings. Kimpex also has a for replacement wheel.

Not sure if you get a better deal buying directly from Port Yamaha verses The PY eBay store but I called a few local dealers for me and they all wanted like $35 each for them.

Excell Motorsports also has replacement wheels. They are slightly larger than factory to help with slider wear
