[thuganomics16]

hi everyone, the title says it all really. im having a hard time trying to find a front wheel bearing for my 1991 mito does anyone have any idea what size is needed please? as everyone i have spoken too has no idea....thanks in advance

Any industrial bearing factor will have one for about a fiver, but you'll need the size. Best bet is to drop the wheel out, remove the bearing and take it along.

Yep, the old bearing will have a number stamped round the edge of the outer race. If you drop it out, take it to a bearing factor (the bearing or the number off it) and they will most likley have them in stock with prices ranging from £2.50 to £10. Take their advice for which would suit your application best.

You can find bearing factors in the yellow pages, if they don't have your bearing in stock, they should be able to get it by the next day or they are not worth their salt. Smallness of shop front does not necessarily denote lack of stock, most of their business is supplying industry and industry demands rapid bearing supply. A broken 50p bearing can hold up an entire production line.

If you need the bike to go pick them up, you might be able to read the number off the bearing if you drop the wheel out and remove the circlip/dust covers without disturbing the berarings then replace them again.

Most motorbike wheel bearings are 6202 but this is not a hard and fast rule, you have an exotic bike so sods law dictates it will be different.

The quick option is to phone up Mito Mondo and get some OE bearings. You will be raped for price.

The other option is to get some from M&P. They're £4.99 a side but i'm not sure what the size is. They might know what sizes they are.

But as said, the sizes should be etched on the outer race.

Good try. Close, but not close enough...

Here's a retailer of Cagiva wheel bearings and so you could contact them.

https://www.dimons.co.uk/aboutus/accessories.asp?parts=Cagiva

Hi

Given the code for the bearing on that site is "6004DDU" it looks like it is a 6004 bearing. Ask for a 6004 2RS (the 2RS is for 2 rubber seals).

All the best

Just checked the Hein Gericke manual and you're out of luck there!

get LED bulbs for the rear light m8 its what i done its much better i think and they dont screw up as often as normal bulbs

[Kickstart]

Hi

Think the rear brake light switch is a pressure switch built into the banjo bolt holding the hose onto the rear brake master cylinder.

All the best

If you need any parts for that get intouch with scottie at reservoir cogs as he has a complete Mk2 mito and i think he may be breaking it soon..
