Living in the pnw i have to do this every year to be safe. Sooo much rain and soo many puddles it will kill bearings! Great video!
Yeah I've ignored it for too long
If you have a drill and taps you can install grease zerks on all of those components that way instead of tearing the whole thing apart you can just hit it all with a grease gun instead will take about 2 minutes to grease everything instead of a couple hours
I had them on the drz , they worked well , but i think the yamaha deserve a little bit of attention from Time to time
Every 100 hours is when I do mine. If you're at 260 hours you might as well just replace the bearings
Exactly
A lot less work and money to just clean and grease them regularly than to replace all the bearings and races!
@@01AceAlpha Right. But at 260 hours and not touched them once.... yeahh peace of mind would be just to do them. I've done it so many times on many bikes that it's pretty easy and painless to just replace them if they were mistreated after a while.
I ordered the bad ones , takes 2 weeks to get them
I lube my chassis and suspension bearings regularly. In fact, I recently purchased a Husky TE250 with 90 hours on it...the 1st thing I did was tear it down to get a look at the bearings and load them up with Maxima WP grease. Here in wet New England it is just part of taking care of my machine....
True that man . It's a must
PDS is my hero. I love not having linkage to fool with anymore!
i can see a huge advantage there
@@vegasromaniac Well, I'm currently down waiting on swingarm pivot bearings to come in, so nothing is bulletproof.
@@shinyribs2178 true that ... You use it it breaks
Took my new 2021 yz250fx apart before I even rode it to grease everything, rear linkage and steering head...there was almost no grease in it. so glad I did !!
You saved yourself a cool 100 bucks man .. that's how much I spent to get those parts and they still didn't arrive yet
Good choice. I have had several different brands and they're all the same. Cheep on the grease. Highly recommend taking everything apart and grease within the first couple of months. Might even learn a little about your bike.
People will spend all kinds of money getting their suspension “dialed” for something that can be done easily from home 😂...fact is MOST dealerships charge you for the pre-delivery service and DON’T do it (or at least all of it) I used to work for a Yamaha dealer and I know what the factory requirements for lubricants are before you sell the bike to a customer...bottom line there’s a good chance your bike has NEVER had the correct lubrication from the factory because it’s the dealerships job to make the bike ride ready...whatever lube is in the axles and linkage was just to prevent rust in shipping
Fair, but most people can't really re-valve their suspension at home though.
That's crazy well that's what I had I guess
@@JohnnyApplepie agreed but many times it’s not even necessary in the first place was my point
That rusty one looks like every bearing after a year in my neck of the woods! Nice rebuild video..
That's crazy , it must be wet where you live
In my bike (2019 Gas Gas EC 300) needles do not come out and this is really handy cleaning and lubricating them. I think that every 100 up to 120 hours they should be maintained.
Hell yeah that sounds better
Nicely done. I had to clean up some rusty ones like that on chases bike once just to get through a weekend. The Moose kit to replace all of those bearings is pretty cheap.
I got the yamaha parts , one bearing kit was 80 bucks ...
Bro yamaha is cheap on the grease, check your head steering bearings they are dry too,mine had very little grease on them from factory its ridiculous, great video man
Yeah I've done those a while back .. but this i forgot and ignored to check for way too long
@@vegasromaniac at least you catched it before they collapsed then it would've been bad lol
I'd like this again if I could. The new sock made me laugh 😂
Socks are awesome ..
I did the WR when it was brand new. Not much grease from the factory. I packed them with some waterproof grease. Still going strong. I hate needle bearings. It's like a bad version of jenga.
Haha i would check if I were you check again
VR~ Welcome back to the U.S. enjoyed your home remodel abroad but, your motorcycle vids are more on page with the average motorcyclist. KUDOS! Glad i stayed as a subscriber. In theory you should of had one more sock to use for cleaning. haha! kenbob CDSR
Very happy to have you here man ....
Vegas..Good stuff..great background tune...just reminds me of what I havent done...Yet.
Hey , till yesterday i was exactly like you now I'm 80 dollars poorer but smarter ... Hopefully
Nice show and tell...CAUTION: rubber seal material may not be compatible with the brake cleaner. I'm glad my KTM 500 only has a single pivot swing arm/shock assy... less bearings to worry about🤓 Definitely no fun hunting for needle bearings on the floor... at least if anyone else attempts to do this work, they'll be forewarned from your video.
Yeah , less things to worry about .. way to many hearings here
Thanks you very much for sharing your maintenance.
Sharing My mistake .. so others can learn from it
Solid content buddy, hi from New Mexico!
Thanks for watching my friend from the other side of the bon existing wall that mexico didn't pay for it ...
@@vegasromaniac The wall is mostly there, pendejo. No socialista!
I take them all out with a pick clean with wd40 them apply grease and needles stick too the grease no issue slow and steady!
Great that you do it , i wish I had that much brain .. now i had to buy 80 dollars worth of parts
I've done the same to my wr250z, replace and grease all off the bearings
That's a great idea
All the back end bearings and collars make a difference to how tight the bike feels, i think.
Well mine is loose haha
Great advice Vegas!
Thanks
Lube is good. Nobody likes a dry hole.
Haha
I had to replace the bearings on my CRF250X recently.
Yeah mine is in the mail
Does the rear suspension linkage play a role to make the bike drive??
I’ve got to check my klr swingarm bearings soon. I can see small play when I bang on rear wheel.
Yeah .. do that
Thanks for the lube maintenance video
Yeah you got o lube man, or it hurts
Nice. That's pretty much the way I do it.
Awesome , why you didn't remind me ? To do it ?
@@vegasromaniac ha, this video reminded me I need to do it.
@@ADVNevada haha well you can buy me a beer later
@@vegasromaniac right on.
I am ging to have to do that with my bike soon but it's just like uhg, i have barely enough space to do so.
Yeah it's a must man
Good videos thanks
Glad you are here bud
Can you drill a hole, tap and put grease zerks in those things? Asking for a .... actually just why they don't already have zerks.
Why not? I believe Cam Niemela rebuilt his cr250 and used, I think, a swing arm shaft that had a grease fitting in it to deliver grease.
The drz had that but yamaha doesn't .. don't know why ..
(Your not riding hard enough) they look to good
Haha
So there is water in Vegas after all ??
Yeah a little . Mostly in Utah ..
