Cush Drive Bearing

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by Amentia, Feb 22, 2014.

  1. Hi,

    As part of my rebuild I'm having my wheels refurbed, and therefore am replacing the wheel bearings, cush rubbers and cush bearing.

    I have sourced some wheel bearings and cush rubbers, althought the rubbers are a bit expensive lol :/

    My question is, Where do I get a new bearing for the cush drive?

    Cheers

  3. They are indeed the 6005 (assuming 17mm spindle).
     
  4. Yep........just checked my spare carrier and the reference is correct (as you say, for the standard OEM 17mm axle).

    The OP may as well change the grease seals as well, while he is doing the bearings.....

    AL
     
  5. It says on the website that it is also known as the [FONT=&amp]6005 RS C3 [/FONT]so for some unknown reason the '2' is lost.........yet the one you link to shows an 'H' (which might be the bearing seal type).....

    Can you see the reference on the old ones in the carrier?

    Failing that, speak to Simply Bearings for clarification......they are very helpful.

    The ID of the bearing is 25mm because there is a big bush that pushes through them (which has an ID of 17mm)
     
  6. The SKF ones would be slightly cheaper than the Koyo ones; however, I have always reckoned that SKF were the best bearings.........but I know nuthin' about the Koyo ones in this case.
     
  7. I was going to go for Koyo just because I had heard of them before lol
     
  8. I assume you will be changing the main carrier grease seals as well?

    When you do the wheel bearings, don't forget to put the spacer tube back in.......
     
  9. Main carrier grease seals? I don't remember seeing these.

    Do I have them on my 1997?
     
  10. Probably not --- I was thinking of another bike I had :rolleyes:

    Apologies.............
     
  11. THANK GOD FOR THAT! I've been trying to find the seals for the last hour lol

    No problem :)
