How to change bearings on your motorcycle. Tenere 700

Pressure washer too hard, too close to the wheel hubs is not good for your bearings! I learned the hard way, You need to be careful, but if you need to replace the bearings, this is how I did it.
Also know that when your bearings break down, your ride is over, where ever you are.
For the rear wheel you have three bearings and two radial seals.
These are the dimensions.
*Rear Wheel*
Sprocket carrier.................28 x 58 x 16 62/28 2rs 1 off
rear wheel right..............20 x 47 x 14 6204 2rs 1 off
Rear wheel left..............20 x 42 x 12 6004 2rs 1 off
rear wheel left seal........40 x 58 x 7
rear wheel right seal.....28 x 47 x 7
*Front wheel*
front wheel bearings......22 x 44 x 12 60/22 2rs 2 off
Front seal..................... 30 x 44 x 5 2 off
You can buy them at any place that sells bearings. You can get a complete kit at your Tenere 700 shop, but I recommend getting bearings where you know you get quality stuff.

The gentleman at the bearing shop saved the day.

[@Ramjet257]

When doing this job I fill the void between the seal and the bearing with grease as well. It stops the gap from holding water. I love the appropriate number plate: OCD = Obsessive compulsive disorder in my world, LOL Great video guys. The factory should put double sealed bearings in from the build.

[@ibidu1]

I agree packing it marine grade grease will stop the mud/water from entering and destroying those bearings.

[@ktmbike666]

Also always start a new seal with grease on it! The inside lip must be greased to prevent heat and friction

[@michaelhayward7572]

Always use some lube, any lube if you havent got the proper anti seize or ep gear lube is good, for putting a bearing in an alloy housing. It prevents galling or picking up on fitting in a dry bore.

[@drgsao]

Heaving the bearings in the freezer 24h before instalation is a practical trick to ease the installation process

[@toby7504]

Best used bearing l have seen in a long time. Not wather tight for shure. Great work. Need a tool set like that, make halft the work... Off to biltema then😊😊

[@robertandersson2523]

I use to grind the outer ring of the old bearing down a bit. This way it doesn't get stuck when driving in the new one. I'm glad that you just applied the force at the outer ring. I think a lot of people don't and ends up damaging the new bearings in the process.

Thanks for the details. I just checked a web site in Germany about the parts: 62/28-2RS1 SKF 27,56 € 6204-2RSH SKF 4,36 € 6004-2RSH SKF 4,42 € 40-58-7 BA DICHTOMATIK 3,31 € 28-47-7 BASL DICHTOMATIK 3,20 € No idea, if the prices are OK. A complete bearing/seal kit front+rear at a dealer is about 63,90 €. I'm usually adding much more grease to prevent rust and dry bearings on my 4x4 and I would do the same on my T7.

[@NomadSweden]

Sounds like good prices. I should have used more grease before the sealings

[@juliendidier7985]

Nice job, man!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be a good idea to overgrease the whole thing (axles, oil seals, bearings and bearing seats) before and during the mounting process, to help mounting, lubricating and sealing? And cleaning the rust on the outside of the inner pipe to prevent propagation? I'm really asking you opinion because I'll have to do the same job on my old Ténéré. Thank you for your very instructive and relaxing content, as usual! 👍🏽

I´m also a Vespa Rider as well and if I change the bearings I hit them out with a hammer like you but if I install the new once I put it for 3-4 h in a freezer, Then you don´t need a hammer the bearings falling in the mount like a drop of water!

A common trait among many T7 pilots seems to be not taking life, or themselves, too seriously. Thanks for the demo, good to see those bearings come out fairly easily. Just how I’d be doing it, using the dead ones to tap in the new teenagers!

[@flyterlucki]

Important note. When beginning to take the wheel bearings out start with the one on the cush side and putting the bearings back in start with the one from the break disc side.

[@LhDiy]

You better put some light oil to a more easy fit of the bearings and also put grease below the gasket and on the gasket lips.

[@thealvaco]

A press fit should not be lubed ever. You can use heat.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

Oh, I remembered. You could use CO2 or Liquid nitrogen for a few seconds to shrink the bearing or whatever so that it would just fall in. Can't remember where I learned that technique. On my U.S. Navy ship back in the late 70's? I think so. But doing both things to the object will sometimes let it fall in by itself. Go to your local cryogenics lab and borrow some liquid Nitrogen next time. 🙂

[@andycapp8843]

The distance travelled has little bearing (oops...sorry about that) on their longevity, but the terrain covered and as has been mentioned, the method of cleaning. Once you have water ingress, rust starts almost immediately and their premature replacement is sealed (can’t help it.) Many years ago, I was a fanatic for cleaning my Honda trail bikes with a power washer and was constantly changing the bearings, front and rear.

[@istra70]

Power washer ....use it from the distance .... It will kill the chain too..... But 20 / 25 k is reasonable duration considering rain , mud , sand, dust..... I would change front bearings too - they are even more dangerous if they go while riding.....

[@andycapp8843]

The distance travelled has little relevance on the life of a bearing. Power washers and continually riding through deep mud and flooded trails will destroy seals and bearings in no time at all. Once you have water ingress, rust starts almost immediately and the bearings/seals are as good as finished. If riding continually off road, always have a spare set on the shelf and be ultra careful with the power washer. I expect to change the seals and bearings on both wheels at least once every 12 months on my Husqvarna and don’t use a power washer anywhere close to the bearings. Pre Covid, I was out one day every week in very wet conditions. Even the very best quality bearings and seals will fail if subject to abuse and poor maintenance.

[@andycapp8843]

Perhaps a diplomatic alternative would be to agree to disagree. The bearings in the T7 are of excellent quality, however like all mass produced motorcycles, the application of grease is frowned upon as it absorbs time and therefore cost. That fact is not Yamaha specific. The purchase price of the T7 is below that of other adventure bikes due to the absence of unnecessary bells and whistles, nothing more. Perhaps you could expand further on the statement ... “cheaply made bike” and include one or two supporting facts?

@@piotrmodnicki3406 they are rear wheel bearings. Have you seen how and where the guy rides? Yes he overdid his pressure washing, now he has learned his (relatively inexpensive lesson), but 20k kms of off road hard work would do that to any chain drive bike. The Yamaha is reknowned as one of the best value, most reliable bikes on the planet.

Michael Hayward look i respect all of you guys, I also respect your choices I even respect Yamaha , but I still believe is not as great as people are describing it to be after all is neither adv bike nor an of road bike he is not riding that hard believe me I know people on much bigger bikes that are trashing them completely and nothing , you see to me the whole concept of chain in an adv bike is completely out of order chain is for racing bike and enduro/ cross bike that is it !!!! The more he shows this t7 in his video the more I see a bike that looks like a bit better put together royal Enfield for half the money !
