Baghira rear wheel bearings

[keithcross]

Hi Guys

I changed the rear wheel bearings in my Bahira Street Moto tonight as they were showing a slight grittyness on the wheel balancer while haveing a new tyre fitted.
I got my trusty MZ spares manual out to look up the bearing number and found on checking both the manual and the rear wheel that the manual lists the wrong bearing number. The bike has 6004 2RS bearings fitted not 6204 2RS as listed. Just thought this might be of use.

falling off is not good

I have just checked the MZ parts manual and it gives the following bearing sizes

Rear wheel (wire type) 17 & 18 inch wheel bearings the same 6204 2RS, part number 9013188000. Bearing fitted to my 2001 model 6004 2RS.
Sprocket carrier bearing 6304 2RS part number 9014277000
Rear 17" alloy rear wheel rear whel bearing quoted as 6203 2RS part number 9013188000
Front wheel (wire type) 17 & 21 inch wheels have same bearings 6003 2RS MZ part number 9014272000
Front wheel ally 6004 2RS. MZ part number 9013162000


The difference between the rear wheel bearing sizes in millimeters are

type OD ID width
6004 42 20 12
6204 47 20 14
6304 52 20 15
6203 40 17 12
6003 35 17 10

Hopefully the above info may help someone and I will check the other fitted bearings when I take the wheels out next time.

winter shop time starts at thanksgiving here in my shop
about last week of nov
will check what is installed in the alloy wheels on both the
rt125 and saxon tour as both are over 10,000 miles now and its
time to clean lub and repack on both of mine
and the saxon tour needs a clean and inspection of the chain cover
as well as a rear sprocket inspection

hope it doesnt cut to much in to work on the r75/2 conversion\
got some done on it mostly sort out what parts i still dont have in stock
