My front tires bearings are shot does anyone know what size they are? They owner at a local shop sells the 2013 xf200 and said I need to tell him the size in order to see if he has any

I bet they are the same as any XR200 but bearings are semi-standard. You can remove what you have and bring them to a motorcycle shop or better a bearing supplier and match them up.

Or if you have calipers you can measure them and order over the internet.

How many miles on your Q? I wonder why the bearings went out? Lots of mud/water in your riding environment?

If the bearings are sealed, the seals should have a part number on them. If you can read the part number, you can order replacements from an auto parts store without removing the bearings.

Otherwise, you can measure the outside diameter of the bearings, and the diameter of your axle. After you have these two diameters, you shouldn't have any problems finding the correct bearings.

Finally, you can also remove the bearings, and bring them to your dealer or auto parts store.

thanks I have about 5000 in my bike I don't really ride mud but little rain. have been doing wheelies on the bike and I think that's why.

FastDoc · 09-30-2013, 02:33 PM

Extra credit for being able to wheelie a Q :-)

kawi14 · 09-30-2013, 03:07 PM

thanks and here are some pics of me wheeling

FastDoc · 09-30-2013, 03:17 PM

Cool!

The explanation for your premature bearing wear just became more clear ;-)

MICRider · 09-30-2013, 09:31 PM

I like the orange Q's, they look great! Lol, don't think mine pulled a wheelie the whole time I had it...

SpudRider · 09-30-2013, 10:36 PM

You have definitely earned bonus points for the wheelies.

The front wheel bearings from a 1977 Yamaha It175 are an exact fit, I know this from using these bearings from my collection of old NOS Yamaha parts on my Xf200. I just hope that you can replace your bearings without having the cut the remaining bearing races out of the wheel.

Thanks everyone

and could something bad happen if I don't replace it soon its my only vehicle right now and don't have time to fix it because of work.. or should I take off work to fix it??

FastDoc · 10-01-2013, 02:46 PM

Likely not an emergency. What symptoms do you have that the bearings are bad? Noise? squealing or grinding? Lateral play? Friction?

FastDoc · 10-01-2013, 02:46 PM

Mental note:

Don't wheelie your only vehicle that you can use to get to work ;-)

If you don't notice any alarming problems, you can probably fix the bearings after work.

I suggest you purchase the Motion Pro bearing remover and bearing removal driver of the appropriate size.

http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0269/

You employ the tools in the following manner to quickly and easily remove your old bearings.

I also suggest you read Brother Dan's advice at the following link.
