2003 Monster 620ie w.72 miles - Getting it running again

[Rudemouthsky]

I just got brand name (Nachi) bearings from eBay. I just started a long tech thread about this that thoroughly annoyed all the old heads here. The consensus is that any 6201RS will do the trick. If you wanna go uber cheap from China a ten pack is $12 shipped or in my case I got the Japanese Nachi bearings for $7 each. I'm sure you could pick em up locally as well they are a common bearing.

$6.95 with free shipping, from Cali. I'll support California and Japan's economies, not China's.

That's exactly what I bought, same seller too. Very prompt shipping. I liked the techy description too.
