Bearings - bike specific?

[mudcow007]

Are bearings bike specific?

just stripped my DT175 down to the frame etc, an the amount of parts are eye watering if i went straight to Mr Yamaha

with bearings do i just need to know dimensions etc? or are there anything else to know?

Go to a bearing factor or measure them and buy them online from a bearing specialist.

Hi

As I understand it, one example of specific bearings are main bearings on the RD LC. Basically a standard bearing with a small bit removed from the bearing race.

All the best

There are many examples of non-standard especially grooved or pinned gearbox bearings but the vast majority will be stock items, especially the ones which need changing most regularly like wheel and headstock bearings..

the only bearings I found to be more or less bike specific are one of the bearings in a late model FJ1200s suspension linkage and for the mid joint in BMW paralever swingarms.

Aprilia had a funny needle roller bearing in their suspension linkages of RSVs too. They removed the cage so the rollers were loose, and crammed twice as many rollers in. From what I remember people replaced them with standard caged needle roller bearings and they didn't seem to wear any quicker.
