idler wheels

[WinderFab]

Hey Guy's

I have the idler wheels that have the replaceable bearing (the new Yamaha ones) i called royal dis, to see if they have the bearing 6005 they said they only carry that sometimes no demand for it, called the dealer they want $20 a piece x 6 wheels, isn't that to high to pay for that.

All other Yamaha's i have had always used 6205 why would they change the bearing for one that is harder to find unless you go to the dealer and pay $140 for 6 bearings.

Anybody have better luck somewhere else..?

Lots of bearing places around my neck of the woods, Oshawa Bearing and BDI (Ken Scott)
Should be something up your way or if you ever come this way?
Could also call about shipping then compare $
(Both places are actually located in Whitby, Wentworth and Thickson)

Whoa, 20 bucks for one bearing, ouch!!! I replaced all my idlers with ones with the 6205 (common) bearings. Got them from royal distributing for $25 (spoked wheels) which includes the bearing & are a bit bigger in diameter which is supposed to help aid in hyfax wear. When replacing any inner idler wheels from 6005 to 6205 you will have to get the bushings machined down a bit to accommodate the wider 6205 bearing..
