For 2 weeks I've been trying to replace, or repair my 6 suspension wheels on my 07 Apex. I now have Kimpex wheels #04-116 P & S. They are correct. A Yamaha dealer has twice tried to order the correct bearings. 6005 2 RS had the right inside diameter, but were about 1/16 too big. If anybody knows the right bearing, please tell me
 
6005 2rs is a 47mm bearing

you probably need a 6004 2rs which is a 42 mm

5mm = .197 inches

1/16 inch = .1625

I just pulled the seals on all the bearings, sprayed them real good with WD40 used compressed air to blow out all the old grease and crap and repacked them with new greese. The wheels are now better than new. I read that the bearings weren't replaceable but that won't stop you from repacking them and its way cheaper than buying new wheels and bearings.
