V1 bearing replacement
-
Hi there,
Having recently taken ownership of a V1.
I am looking to replace it's bearings.
The boards mileage showed 1 mile when I got it which I know is not correct. Not sure how that happens mind you...Anyway from a little research there is not a great deal of info available.
So can someone tell me if 61907-2RZ is the correct bearing for starters and does anyone have any pointers on changing them please ? Else it'll have to be threatened with a big hammer lol.
I can get access to a machine shop if necessary.
I will be changing bearings in my XR soon too but that seems well documented and straightforward enough.
Many thanks in advance for any advice here.

@puzz360 I've replaced bearings with a hammer but I now have a bottle jack press and do them on that.
If you've got measurements of the bearing I can find it with that ^-^

Lovely thx...
I have a bearing press tool for the XR (not tried yet lol) that may work.
Seeing the V1 doesn't need to be ridden daily at the moment there's no rush to get them and replace in one day, so I can get the measurements. I'll update this thread when I do...Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you and the whole community 🎄

Hi all,
Started taking the V1 apart.
2 different bearings, held in by circlips too.
6906 and 6203Shouldn't be a problem to get them but...
My problem is the connector won't fit through the bearing. ?
Has anyone got any experience of this and can those connectors be taken apart ?
-
@puzz360 They come apart. A little fiddly but there are various videos on it.
Give this a go :)

Lovely. Thanks. 👍
I have found some other ones too. Once I tackle it I'll confirm what works best.
Fingers crossed 😉
