suzuki250 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Just stripped down my 4 speed gearbox, the bearing on the output shaft seems to have a coating of copper on it, I presume it’s a 6205 bearing but it measures .002” over size? I’ve tried a 6205 bearing on the casting and it’s a slide fit at best, I presume the copper coating is to pack it out, has anyone had a similar experience? Or does it use a special bearing?

ruffmutt Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Possibly the bearing has been turning in the housing, but why it leaves a copper colour i don,t know, seen it many times. Try bearing grade Locktite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty_jon Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I would guess Loctite is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki250 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 It looks like the orginial Villiers bearing (Hoffmann) and its never had a bearing turn in the housing. The only thing I can think is Villiers had QC problems and used some oversize bearings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
