hoodie2 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 need to order wheel bearings for the front and back of my 04 sy250 and want to do it online. What size bearings am I needing? Someone told me that they use different sizes from the other trials manufacturers and that the front and back are different. I want to have the new bearings ready to go before I knock out the old ones so any help would be appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnoux Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Should be readily available from Birk's (are you in the UK?) or your local Scorpa dealer. At least you will get the right ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitjay - hrc Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I too just swapped my front wheel bearings, and was stung by the price of them, and apparently the front ones are rubbish anyway, and were put in there to reduce weight and not last!. Also this could be a silly question so dont laugh, do i need to grease anywhere when fitting the bearings? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikb Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Try this guy on Ebay I got some of these 6904 's for my GG which I THINK are the same as Scorpa ones 20mm ID 37mm OD and 9mm wide. CLICKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ned kelly Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 and apparently the front ones are rubbish anyway, and were put in there to reduce weight and not last!. Nitjay - Do you seriously think the Scorpa factory would purposely fit a bearing to not last, considering the quality of all the rest of the bikes components. Come on! Oh yeah, but we saved 2 grams! If you get the chance drop in and visit the Scorpa Factory, you'll then realise how far from the thruth that statement is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 In reply to the grease question -prise off the rubber seals carefully and re-grease with waterproof stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitjay - hrc Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) Im sorry Ned but that was what i was told when i rang a Scorpa dealer. What wheel bearings would you like? Dont tell me its the small ones, they are no good... etc I wouldnt repeat something that i just made up? Why would i have a go at my own brand of motorcycle?

tricky dicky Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 The bearings that some of the bikes come with are rubbish. My old GG was getting through bearings pretty quickly when replaced with the standard ones from the factory which I am guessing could be the same as on the Scorpa. The problem was soon solved when I put Koyo bearings in. Either these or SKF are the best. As mentioned above, take off the rubber seal carefully and pack with waterproof grease and you wont have anymore problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 By the way, the bearing numbers that fit my 2005 SY250 are: 6004-2RS for the rear 6905-2RS for the front. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Sorry to bump an old post, but i take it that the bearings are the same as above in an 03 and 05 sy 250 R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
