Guys I think my bearings are shot front and back. I had it off the ground getting ready to change the brakes and there was a lot of play. My question is, how hard are these to change? I am not the most mechanically inclined, but do routine maintenance. I have the average tool kits. I like to learn how to do new things, but will this be something better left to Yamaha? Thanks for any info.

 

Not that difficult. Buy a manual and you should be able to acomplish the task. I would recommend renting a bearing puller from a local auto parts store. It will come in handy to pull the rear bearings.

Again.. buy a manual. Great investment.
