How to change bearings on your motorcycle. Tenere 700

[@georgegeorgakopoulos5956]

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.

[@Pat158]

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

[@OumboukTravelAdventures]

This is why I like your vids . Simple, practical with the tools you have . Great and thanks

[@noxious456]

[@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! 👍🏽

[@NomadSweden]

Thank you! I don’t see why you should not grease a lot here. The more the better perhaps.

[@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.

[@timzollner7760]

It is a nice video and a tutorial as well. On hint from my side. 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!

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.

[@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.....

[@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. 🙂

[@nosher_4114]

I'm doubting the pressure washer spray could reach that inner bearing with sufficient force to remove the grease - it probably didn't have enough from new. Makes a case for stripping & checking any new bike, riders know they'll be keeping and doing some hard miles (or kilometres) on.

[@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.

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.
