it will be a lot cheaper to use a bearing company and not a motorcycle shop to get your bearings from

Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 4:52 pmbad wheel bearings are BAD
first they start to make a noise, eventually they collapse which is really BAD
it also makes em a real bitch to get out
get the bearings from a bearing place they have a small number on them
prob $5-$10 a bearing
Mate with Aprillia needed 2 rear bearings , the sprcoket bearing and a couple of seals $50 at the bearing mob with the list in hand that we foound on the web ,
$490 from aprilia
a 10 x markup and this is besides the fact that the bearing mob makes plenty out of it as well

Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 7:03 pmYeah - don't risk it. Once wheel bearings start to go they progress real quick. It still pays to check your prices. Mine were actually cheaper genuine than from a bearing place - I think they were a odd size from memory. Nice easy job to do anyway.
