I ordered some bearings from Royal. The jack shaft kit has 3 bearings. 1 open design for the chaincase and 2 sealed. The sealed are "6206 RD" w/ blue plastic covers. The second is "6206 DU" w/ brown plastic covers.

I couldn't find any specifics on the kml bearing site.

Is this normal? Is one of the 6206 a better bearing?

Sled is an 05 RX1 ER.

No, same grade but the DU one has a taper journal. To confirm that, look for a "K" mark somewhere on it. This is the one that goes toward the clutch over the shaft collar. Seating the bearing is not done by torqing the collar but a given degree pass hand seating.
