I need a pair of NEW front wheel bearings for a 2001 M750 with 25mm front axle. All Balls # 25-1351 , SKF# 6005-2RS

I know this is a long shot, but since I'd rather not take the car or metro to work this week, I figured I'll ask.

Guess which one is sh!t and you'll ween a beer! [evil]


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

The one on the right.  My 750 front wheel bearing (right side) is eating through the axle.  Last time I changed the front tire, looked at axle and thought "That ain't right."

That's right, you win a beer! [beer] I suspect that since the left bearing is covered by the speedo drive, less dirt gets in there. While the right side is more exposed so more dirt and faster wear.

I don't know how visible it is in the pic, but it's actually the races (metal frame that keeps the balls in place) that broke and started making some freaky metal-to-metal grinding noises! :o

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Thanks for the link, I already bought a pair of All Balls. I might check these out too, tho. [thumbsup]

i put them on my alazzurra (different size) about 8k miles ago.. I took the wheel off to swap the tire and inspected them and they looked fine.  I always repack my bearings when i get them new even if they are pre-grease .  Zero issues.  Can't beat the price.

My mistake - it's the left (speedo) side that's shagging my axle.  Say Pepe, those things come out easily?  Did you have to heat up the rim or anything?  Ducatiz, I like that price!  I doubt I'll like the price of a new front axle.

A hammer and a long flat head screw driver. I had to go in from one side and find the hole between the bearing spacer and the bearing. Came out relatively easily.

i have a stinger bearing remover.. pop right out.

repack the new bearings, then put them in the freezer overnight.  slide right in.

Thanks guys.  Man I hate taking the front wheel off...  How many miles were on those bearings?  22k on mine, I guess they're due.

Definitely more than 27K Miles on mine, which reminds me it's about time for belts and valves too.

Also did an oil change, engine was down to just over 3 quarts, noticed some weeping around the cylinders...  [roll]

I'd love to get me some ceramic wheel bearings...   [drool]
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

That's actually pretty cheap compared to what I saw when looking at them for my bicycle a few years ago.
