Front Wheel Bearings

[Knuckles]

Looking to service my forks soon and figured I would replace the front bearings while I have the wheel off. Anyone know the part number of the bearings for an 07 K9?
I did a search and found this;
204 pp4 z22-p
But I think they were talking about older dogs...an 05 I think.
Anyway, just wanting to get the bearings before I tear it down so I can put it all back together sooner than later!

My '09K9 bearings are 6204RS-12, just replaced them 2 weeks ago. Rear are 6205RS-16, Hope that helps.

I would try to get American made bearings but that may be difficult...NAPA is a good start...

We have a place called Bearing inc. Find a bearing distributer and they can measure them and give you the same thing. Alot cheaper that way

From a previous post of mine..

Here is the deal on the bearings after going to BDI and speaking with them.
The original bearing I removed, 6205RS 16 is a one inch bearing. The 16 at the end stands for 16/ 16ths or 1 inch. Being that it is a no brand bearing I chose the route you did and ordered 3 Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2. Yea, screw China under my ass too. The 2 at the end of a bearing number represents it has been modified in "some" way. Be it the race or whatever. The Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2 is no doubt a quality bearing and I gave 20.00 a piece for them. They will be here tomorrow anyway. As we measured the shaft itself, the values were all over the place depending where it was measure. They were surprised as well.

The front bearings were a Bearings Limited 6204X3/4 2RS.

I asked about opening the seal and applying extra grease and was advised not to do that. The extra grease will cause the bearing to heat up more thus causing premature failure also. Appears it is a science to the amount that is applied for a particular bearing.

I bought 3 Timken/Fafnir 205KDD2 from this website for $15 each and they arrived within the week. I think $56 including delivery. I try and avoid China made garbage also.
