Front wheel bearings

[grego]

Hello im new to this site but not new to riding raptors. I've had mine for about
two and and a bit years now. But i have a problem,one of my front wheel bearings has collapsed,and wondered if any one knows the sizes as i can't read what it says on the bearing.Cheers

Measure the I.D. / O.D. & Thickness and take these dimensions down to your local bearing supplier

Welcome Grego

I'd take it to my local bearing supplier and let them identify it if I couldnt read the part code - I use a local engineering supplies place for bearings and they are well cheaper than the dealers.

I have a duff front wheel bearing, anyone know the numbers?

I am with the others on this, take a bearing into your local BSF, but make sure you tell them what the bearing is being used for, can make a difference to the tolerances in the bearing and how the cages are made.

Its an SKF 6005 2RS 1/C3,
The 4 digit code goes like this
1st digit 6 means metric
2nd digit 0 means extra light series
3rd and 4 th digits multiply by 5 to give inside bore.
2 RS is sealed both sides.
and 1 C3 is the fit tolerance.

ID 25 mm OD 47 mm , 12 mm wide, (edited for wrong width).


£4.85 each from bearing supplies online.

Very light compared with my BSAs 6204 bearings.

hey guys,

i just went to a bearing shop and got these 6005.2RSR.C3 bearings, and i measured them up: 25 ID, 47 OD, but the bore is 12mm ! is this correct or not?

cheers, jan

okay guys,

i would like to comfirn this information. I just changed my bearings, and they were the correct ones. so

FAG/SKF 6005.2RSR.C3

ID 25 mm
OD 47 mm
width 12 mm (edited because i thought bore = width cheers Pod)

I have a totally different bike now! So smooth! woo-hoow!

Changing the bearings was a piece of cake. Just punch the old ones out. I used lithium grease for mounting the new bearings. I used the old ones as base for knocking the new ones in.

cheers,
Jan

Got the width measurement wrong , sorry, 12mm is correct.
Bore equals Inside diameter ( ID)
