Where to get bearings

[justhoppy]

Non-OEM bearings have let me down-TWICE!! Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. You can bet there won't be a third time since I now have to replace my jack shaft due to bearing failure.

What I have found is that the amount of grease is very inconsistent within the same manufacturer and size/model bearing. One bearing would be packed with grease while another would only have a little. I open new bearings and if the amount is minimal, I add some low temp grease. Annual cleaning and re-greasing helps extend their life.

The NTN bearings you want for the skid is the blue seal ones they are the ones for cold weather an are call the formula bearings they last a good time.l

I have found the same thing, always double check them before installing.

Use the ntn bearings and make sure that they are the LL bearings (sealed red, blue or black) it doesn't make a difference they are all packed with mobile polyrex em. Take the seal off and put a better grease in them. The yamaha bearings already have a different grease in them because they have specified that from the manufacturer of the bearings.
