teering head bearing replacements? 1 Year, 10 Months ago  
Is there a cheaper quicker replacement than the yamaha specific ones? Can I take these and goto the auto parts store and cross reference them or something like that? I tried searching but couldn't find exactly anything. Sorry if this is posted allready.

I don't now what they cost from the dealer, but there are some on eBay for around $30.
Cheap
Cheaper
But I don't see a reason why you can't get them at a local shop.

Yamaha wants more than double that for "their" bearings.

Try these, this is what I just used, and so have many others

also, when you tighten the nut the first time, make sure you have the tire on and wheel on the ground as well, that was my mistake, was still on lift, had to retighten again. I just do by feel and used channel locks
