Learn how to replace the rear wheel bearings on a 2007 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 in this video from Partzilla.com. If you hear grinding, knocking, or a humming sound from your wheels when you’re out on the road, it may be time to make a change. Replacing the rear wheel bearings on a GSXR isn’t terribly difficult, but it’s hard to do without some special tools to get the bearings into the wheels. As for getting them out? We’ll show you two methods. Learn how to do the job with a bearing remover kit from Suzuki OR using a hammer and a metal rod.
We’ll start by removing the rear wheel, and then we’ll pull the worn bearings out using both the bearing remover tool and the metal rod. Then, see how to use a bearing press to get the new bearings into place. We’ll wrap up the job by getting the rear wheel back on the GSXR.

[@Senior-Busa-Rider]

[@lmunozjr]

[@MrBoomtheroom]

where can i get that drift set u used in this video?

[@adelibraheem1133]

I am Anas Abuelil from Jordan. I want to thank you

[@unggrabb]

Good

[@dekotapotts161]

My bearing kit came with 3 seals and I only seen you install 2 in this video?

[@I677000]

Is the same procedure for DL650? Vstorm

[@critter1171]

Gday John, any reason why not to put the new bearings in the freezer before installation?

[@joescott4545]

I hope you see this today and can answer. The three little protrusions in wheel hub. The rubber dampers I think. Does everyone have those tips on top ? On the rubber pieces? Mine doesn't have them in top . Does all of them have the little knobies on top?

[@PatGix750]

Is'n better to heat the rims before pulling out the bearings?

[@deadlybsl485]

Mr. John, I have a serious question. I have a 2002 GSXR 1000. Following your instructions in the video, I noticed the 2001/ 2002 does not have the seals you installed as you have instructed on #4 from 2003 on up. But when ordering some bearings for this year, it recommends installing them but not the original metal seal part #64740-35F00. The rim is the same part number for 2002 and up for several years. Requesting some guidance. Steve

[@danklabz4204]

Is there a spacer between the hub bearing and the wheel bearing?

[@komilitiahitz3443]

I have a quick question, why didn’t you put the retainer sprocket drum back in the rear sprocket drum?? Part number 14 on the real wheel diagram??

[@Kyre5049]

Yamaha Race Grease is discontinued; is there an alternative?

[@jerrybishop3266]

I have a question don't the Nipple on the cush Drive go inside the rim into the hole? where you say to make sure they're facing upward would be wrong right?

[@markfreese3396]

What is the purpose of the spacer?

[@Alexgomez411]

I have a busa and when I 60 foot it hard it makes a clanking noise...and the chain loosens..I have to re a just it and seems fine as long as I don't 60foot it hard ?? Any ideas?? Guys

[@Senior-Busa-Rider]

Bearings that is 🦅🇺🇸🦅🏍 Is it the same set for Hayabusa? I would think so

[@michaelmanley6525]

Just wanted to say thank you very much for your help! Great video. Great instructions. Very well done!! M7 Michael Manley Massillon, Ohio

[@PartzillaParts]

Glad the video helped you out! We appreciate you checking it out!

[@sandyroadking]

Dear John, was wondering why you didn't use the blind bearing puller u had already ?

[@PartzillaParts]

Just trying to show different ways, not everyone has that kit.

[@emilesp01]

@Partzilla, Hey John, quick question, I am hearing a squeaking noise from the rear suspension on my 14' GSXR1000. Can you provide any ideas or tips where should I put grease or anything to fix it? Bike barely has 6K miles on it. Thanks in advance.

[@PartzillaParts]

could be a couple things. Clean up the spring and linkages and see if you can narrow down where the squeak is coming from. It's likely debris or the bearings need to be cleaned and greased.

[@mike216ism]

I love your videos John! My Clymer manual says to leave sealed side facing out on all three. It also says to drive the right side to it bottoms out and on the left side to leave a slight clearance between the distance collar. It's a little different to your method. It seems leaving a slight clearance would prevent putting pressure on bearing. Unless when we tighten the hub it will pull anyways? Not sure. I just left a slight clearance. Probably 5 thousands or so. I hope it'll be okay. Suzuki charges a lot for there stuff. I bought fake koyo bearings on ebay last year. Doing them over now. I decided to get ripped off by Suzuki so I'm certain there real koyo bearings. I hate ebay and all the fake junk all over there site. Take care all

[@anytutorialforyou]

Hey there Partzilla, I have a 1998 GSXR 750 and I have read that you shouldn't bottom out the 2nd bearing, there is supposed to be some very slight clearance between the axle spacer tube in the rim and the 2nd bearing; thus allowing the spacer to move slightly. I read also that bottoming out the 2nd bearing onto the spacer tube puts an irregular side-load onto the bearings. Can you please confirm or deny these claims for me so I can stop pulling hairs out of my head thinking about putting my new Koyo bearings in? :P Really appreciate any info on this topic, thank you in advance.

[@PartzillaParts]

I've never heard of that and the service manual doesn't mention it.

[@WFO.Ian.30]

What are those rubber pieces called on the sprocket side? Can’t seem to get mine back in properly on my k6. Should be simple but they don’t fit lmao

[@WFO.Ian.30]

Wow. If anyone’s wondering, I’m just ignorant of simple things. They are attached on one side and they slide over the spines. I thought they went in between for whatever reason. They fell out when I set my wheel down.

[@91TwinTurboZX]

Ordered a set for my 07 cbr1000rr. The kit came with 5 bearings but the diagram only shows 4. I'm confused. I know 2 for the sprocket carrier and 2 for the wheels but what about the 5th bearings? It's the same size as the bearings for the brake side. Thanks.

[@PartzillaParts]

Only supposed to be 4 bearings.

[@91TwinTurboZX]

@@PartzillaParts every kit I see is 5 including your site. The parts diagram says 6205x2. Just wanna make sure before I install them incorrectly. Thank you in advance

[@haraswain7447]

While removing the bearing u used the puller was very nice.but sir while inserting bearing u used hammer. Isn't there any equipment by which we can insert bearing easily without using hameer

[@benpasnin8440]

With a Hydraulic Press. However the average person doesn't have a hydraulic press that will accommodate the size of the wheel.

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

Don’t you want to allow the spacer to move just a little inside? That way you can get the bearings back out and you are able to move the spacer somewhat to the side to get a drift down into the hub

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

You don’t want to compress it completely, leave like a sheet of paper size gap

[@Anonnymouse53]

​@@jeffreyhinman1397 Just did mine on a GSXR 600 K1. The front wheel spacer is more or less flush between the inner part of the bearings, just enough space to move it with finger force. But the spacer on the rear wheel has a good 2mm or so of play - Is that right? I thought it had to be pretty flush to prevent loading on the bearings when tightening the axle, but I don't know if the cush drive affects that (it's at the powder coaters). Thanks.

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

herptyderpty it’s fine there’s supposed to be a little play. As long as the left side was put in first then the spacer then the right side (sprocket side) it’s good. You don’t want it tight to prevent side loads from transferring from bearing to bearing through the spacer so you leave a gap and that allows you to push it to the side so you can knock them out with a drift in the future when you need to change it.

[@jeffreyhinman1397]

Also remember the inner race is not supposed to move it sits there and the rest of the bearing and wheel rotates around the inner race. Be sure your Cush drives aren’t flattened out or cracked from use if so you’ll want new ones.

[@g.a.s.srad750r8]

Amigo, você não passou medidas dos dois rolamentos da roda, você teria pra me passar?

[@jimmcconville624]

there is 100% no reason to loosen the chain adjusters to remove the rear wheel. the average rider doesnt have a proper alignment tool to get that rear wheel back on to 0mm alignment.

[@benjaminvallin4197]

Wrong front tire rotation
