Driveshaft dry side bearing,who has P/N and who has replacement for the stock bearing

[snowbeast]

I repacked my bearing last year and it's not a bad job. I did have to split the caliper to get the rotor off and if you at planning on replacing the bearing this would be the best way to do it. After you split the bearing you can take the bearing and one half of the caliper over to your bench and remove the bearing.

Thanks bro,did you try and look up that bearing with an American made one?

The best way is to remove the 3 bolts from the back side which hold the brake and bearing carrier assembly to tunnel. With that out on the bench remove snap ring which holds bearing in housing to remove and replace bearing. If axle shaft spun inside bearing you may need to replace axle shaft. I had to replace mine as the axle spun to long and wore beyond repair. I knurled where bearing rides on axle to tighten up clearance. Not sure if peening will work in all cases as is will be determined by wear on axle surface. I have replaced mine twice in 9,000 miles. Need to service this bearing at least every 2,000 miles as my replacement bearing was gone again at 3,200 miles. Yamaha part number for bearing is 8JP-RAG06-00-00. Here is a picture of knurled bearing which tightened mine up so axle will fit snug in bearing so bearing will turn as designed.

How did you put the knurling on the shaft like that?

Would you ever consider putting red Loctite between the inner race and the shaft so it holds? According to the manual you need a puller to extract the break assembly that contains the bearing off the shaft. So a little heat and a puller would have no problem breaking the seal. Just have heard many stories of bearings turning on the shaft. Chasing that problem on my Nytro now and its a pain.

Yes,thats what I was thinking to,have you done the rivet nut mod. if so where can I buy the kit to do both sides with? Thanks Pete

Best place I can suggest would be a fastener store. Here in Canada we have Brafasco, Fasrenal, Bolts plus etc. Not sure what's in your area but they'll have everything you need plus the tool.
I went with aluminum M6 rivet nuts and the button head head bolts that are used to hold our muffler heat shields on along with torlock washers. Clean look imo.

Are you talking about the case that holds the bearing steve,looks like there are 3 screws holding the plates on around the bearing,and two screws holding the caliper togeather,once the lg. circlip is out,do you press the bearing out of case than?

Yes. You should not have to split Caliper or remove the guard to get this whole thing off. Like I said I never replaced the bearing. Just clean and lube every year. Mine was replaced when I got the whole Caliper under warranty. The bearing is in it. But that was at 8000mi and bearing was still fine. Dont use a puller on disc. Dont care what manual says. Do it with hands only. To get bearing out yes you will need a press.

i think the bearing # is 6009

The model number for this bearing is a 6009-2RS which is available from a variety of bearing supply houses. You'll want to use a bearing from a quality manufacturer such as SKF since this bearing lives the toughest life of all the bearings in the sled. Don't skim on a cheap bearing (I do not know who Yamaha uses for the OEM bearing). On all my previous sleds I removed, cleaned and repacked this bearing every 2000 miles to be on the safe side. Even though it is a sealed bearing, water gets inside the bearing and washed the grease out. Best to clean and repack the bearing at the end of the season so the accumulated water does not stay in the bearing for the entire off-season.

Stock PEER bearing works fine. But you need a different high quality grease. Same for the jackshaft bearing on clutch side.

I have made a realy simple puller fot this bearing in the F+~?\#]. Caliper

This is the bearing we use. I put it in green locktight but i have a puller....otherwise silicone will do the job.
