Anybody know the bearing numbers for the front wheel bearings? thought it might be easier to just get bearings from my local shop instead of ordering from Suzuki.

ALSO....do the front axle nuts loosen off? I just noticed the tire/rim are loose on the front. Not sure if it's slop/play in the bearing, or a loosened axle nut.

THANKS

 

i ordered mine from ebay ,not a good idea

 

what was wrong with your ebay order? I was just looking at a set of All ***** for $29, shipped. i think that's supposed to be a decent brand name.

 

they had the wrong size seals in the kit

 

I got some from eBay and had no problems. They were about 1/3 the price of the dealer.

 

so did anybody ever write down the actual manufacturers bearing number??

Is the inner different than the outer?

 

08120-60047 inner bearing
09262-15024 outer bearing
09284-26002 seal inner
09284-21001 seal outer
all are suzuki part numbers

 

thanks mucky. I was hoping for an actual bearing number that can be cross referenced. Most of the japanese stuff is usually an NTC bearing. It's stamped right on the bearing. I'll post when I take mine apart. The 60047 sounds close to a real bearing number. Not sure about 15024. Anyways, I ordered a set of All ***** from rockymountain.

another thing a guy can do is measure the inside and outside diameter with a caliper, along with the width, then the bearing shop can hook you up that way too.

 

if anyone ever needs these FRONT HUB bearings, they are: 6004 RS and 6202RS (Koyo). The replacements i put in end with RD instead, otherwise the numbers are the same. I think that means they're sealed both sides. DEFINITELY get the sealed BOTH sides bearing.

The dust seals come out very easy and if you're careful, you should be able to clean them up and re-use them. Hopefully these are common, cheap bearing sizes. If you do need seals, the bearing shop should be able to match the seals to the bearings.

I always carefully pop out the flat seals on the sealed bearings and pack them full of grease, then snap the little flat seal back in. I figure when it's stuffed full of grease, there's no room for dirt/mud to collect in there. I've never had a problem with anything I've done this to. I also pack the outer dust seals with grease aswell, for the same reason.

The old bearings weren't that bad (usually by the time i replace bearings, they're pretty noisy and almost seized). Anyways, I could jiggle the tire a litte, and these sport quads run at such high speeds at times (compared to the utility/rec quads we ride...this is my son's sport quad), i thought it's best not to screw around.
