    Front wheel I take it?

    Even if it is the rear hub, they look like standard bearings. Try a local bearing supplier.

    There's a bearing place in Finglas. Usually 1/3 of the price of dealer.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,101 ✭✭✭Max Headroom


    Reliance or Fox's...Google them..

    You'll need the sizes first..

    Lazy git...I just put "bearings finglas" into Google and guess what it came back with the name and address other handy things like the telephone number.....😎

    Dicksons bearings.

    Used these people before for old crankshaft bearings, can't remember exact price but way cheaper than ebay and the like.

    I'll stick my plug in here for bearingsonline.ie, a place in Offaly

    Full set of proper SKF bearings, front/rear/sprocket carrier for my zx6, for approx 30euro (inc 6e postage). Was getting powdercoating myself too

    Need to work out the sizes however, but should be googleable


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭stewygriffin


    Wossack,who did you go with for the powder coating?

    Any problem with powder coat/over spray in the bearing holes or brake disc holes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,044 ✭✭✭Wossack


    I went with tallaght powdercoat
    no problem with bearing recesses, or bolt holes, but problem with the machined edge the disc actually fits flush against - so make sure that 'shoulder' is masked off also.. bit of a headache otherwise..!

    Would it not be easier, and probably more reliable, to read the number off the ones that are taken out of the wheel? Unless Ducati use proprietary bearings, which I doubt.

    I asked front as the front wheel houses the bearings. The rear wheel doesn't, the bearings are in the hub supporting the axle and the wheel itself doesn't hold the bearings.

    That's my understanding from this:

    Yep - not always legible prior to removal however, which can add some turn round time to the operation which I wanted to avoid

    When it comes to guys looking for parts for bikes or info on parts there seems to be an ignorance/laziness about using the internet which confuses me....maybe i'll Google it...:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 279 ✭✭Stravos Murphy


    Google could come up with anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭stewygriffin


    Was over in Cotters this morning.
    40 euro for front bearing and seal set and the rear axle bearing too.

    Sounds about right for a good set....btw for p/c dont leave the old bearings in, they'll make you take them out or charge you for doing it.....the grease will melt and fcuk up the finish...;)

    Yep Triumph single sided swingarms are the same.

    No bearings in the back wheel.

    Wonder what Cotters sold the OP so...?

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Rear hub bearings we're assuming..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭stewygriffin


    Cotters havent sold me anything yet,I was getting prices off them when over buying oil off them for the S1000rr.

    Price was for front bearings/seals and the bearing in the rear hub unit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19 Bridge9


    Best and cheapest by far is dicksons bearings in Finglas. But they need the right part number.

    Thanks for that.:)
    Well if this feckin 46/41mm wheel socket would turn up in the post for me,I can whip the wheels off the 996 and get the bearings out.
    Ebay is a love hate thing for me at the moment.
    Some stuff arrives fast,other stuff takes absolutely ages.:pac:
