Hey XJ...only just got back online....I had this problem years ago with my 900.....Had to order a genuine bearing from Yam...and it wasn't particularly cheap...No other way around it that i found after several weeks of trawling the internet...

cheers toots. cleaned the old un and put it back in. the bearing wasn't worn but wanted to know if anyone had any ideas about an alternative supply. xj (not me fool) is currently on ebay and will be sold by sunday so it won't become a problem in the future either.

Just a quick note here

Not everything is available on the internet

A bearing specialist often wont bother with a website

Always worth a "personal" visit (with the bearing where possible)

You'd be amazed what can be sourced by "professionals"

Did try a few bearing 'specialists'....but no joy cos of the stupid shoulder on the inner race...couldn't source a standard bearing and use a spacer either....all a moot point as xj is selling the vike...

Toots, my comment was more of a general reminder for folks

Not to forget that "specialist" industrial/commercial suppliers

Often have access to components that are not generally for sale to the public

But as the economy is stalling, they are much more inclined to help

If it means making a sale

So a visit to the "trade" counter is always worth a try
