Hi folks,

Can you replace the idler wheel bearings on a stock '08 Vector LTX or do you have to replace the whole wheel(s)?

Idler wheel bearings are molded in the wheel, need to replace the whole wheel assembly. New replacement idler wheels are available that have the ability to replace the bearing.

Ely if you are going to replace the wheels I would suggest going with the Excell X wheels, I believe they are the same price as the Yamaha wheels but a little bigger so you will solve any slide wear once and for all.

My buddy just today ordered new wheels for his 08... He didn'r remember the brand but they were replaceable and 1/2 the price of the yammie wheels. MM.

I went the Yammy route, figured as long as they had replaceable bearings they were good enough for me?

So far so good and decent slider wear so no complaints.

How much for the Yammy ones, Irv? I ended up chuckin' about $30 each for the Excell X ones.

I believe I paid around $25 each but it has been a while?
