How often do you guys replace your cam bearings?? It says every100 hrs in the manual but I've just had 1 collapse about the 45 hour mark. :( Coops

Anyone know the bearing sizes/numbers so i can get some from bearing services in the morn? save me taking the wheels to work with me in the morning lol 2000 FC ta :D

05 FS650E Second time now but at 400 engine hours and 10,000 miles on the clock should I complain? First time was at 176 engine hours and 4600 miles. Bike was running great but I noticed a drastic increase of little silver hairs on the magnetic drain plug. Some additional investigation...

did we ever discover a cheaper route to these? folk in the UK are now paying £40 per bearing. i've tried to track these through the bearing stockists but it seems to be an automotive part. regards Taffy

Hi Guys, I have had my Berg since November. It is a 2003 400FE and has no more than 70 hours on the clocks...well thats the good bit. The engine in fine the electrics are repaired and every thing was good until...yesterday.... The headbearings were very tight so I got replacements. Knowing...

thanks to ausberg the secret of the rather narrow pair of counter balance bearings is out. i'm having a few sets of them machined down and will let you know what they work out at. i have noted that USA prices are too good for the bearings but i might make some of it back on the machining...

When popping out the rear wheel bearings on my 97 it seemed as though the hub spacer may be slightly too long. What leads me to believe this is before I removed the bearings it felt as though they were seized. Both were very hard to turn by hand. But once removed the wheel bearings spin freely...

Can any one answer me this question on my 05 650 the cam bearings are closed case bearings(meaning they still have the plastic sides on why :?: ) am putting new ones in at the moment and wondering can i remove these and rely on the oil from the cam chain to lubricate these. a nice detailed...

I'm in the midst of servicing the heim bearings. I've yet to remove either the upper or lower bearing but... The upper collars cam out with a few taps. The upper bearing is clean and moves freely by hand. I had to kidnap a rabid gorilla and give him a sledge hammer in order to get the lower...

Hello Gentlemen Berg is still in pieces due to main bearing crash last september.Now i'm putting things back together and have some questions.. I am planning to install SKF NJ206 ACP /C3 HVC058 roller bearings,both sides+weld crank pin to halves.Pictures coming when it is done. Any...

anyone know if i can use SKF bearings in my 04 FS650 or are they industrial bearings....

Does anyone if the c/w bearings are available separately? Price of the c/w assy is about 200€, but I need just the bearings not the weight. Crank is at the workshop waiting for new c/w assy or it's bearings, but they could not find those bearings (6mm thickness)from any catalog...

Just wondering if the spreading of a crank contributes to the main bearing issues. This can't be good for the bearings. I think the extra spacing of the main bearings due to the width of the balancer must allow some crank flexing and spreading. How many of you engine repair guys actually...

Can anybody help? There is a noisy rattle coming from the left hand side of my engine and i was wondering if it was the clutch bearings? Also i cant find neutral when the bike is running. Does any body have the dimensions for the clutch puller then i could make one up? Any advice would be...

G'day all, I'm looking at buying a new 07/08 FE650, i've been sifting through this great site and have come across the issue "Main Bearing Failure" a few too many times, Has anyone changed these bearings to different ones or is there any pre-ventative maintenance to do on them to stop them...

Anybody have these bearings for a '06 fe450, In the US ? Mine are hammered. :(

Anybody tell me how many rollers (pins, needles whatever you call them) should be in the rocker tip bearings and if there is a difference in the quantity between the early and late model bearings? Coops

I noticed a little movement from side to side with my rear wheel if I grab and shake it. I was planning on checking into it but I forgot about it until the next time I rode. I did not ride long until I heard some loud thud noises. I stopped the bike and checked the rear wheel and it looks like...
