Thanks spud, I think I might just bite the bullet and buy the set.

You're welcome.

Can you post a link to the SKC bearings for sale on eBay?

[kumatae]

Here are the auction from eBay. Not sure quality of SKF but it's a name brand. If you wanna buy them from overseas, it's even cheaper but I decided against it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/141457295371 you need 3

https://www.ebay.com/itm/131554953227 just need 1

https://www.ebay.com/itm/141636748083 Just need 1

Total cost $36.57 for front and rear wheel bearings.

Thanks for posting the links. SKF makes good bearings.

Timken or SKF are usually my "go to brands", have used them for as long as I can remember I still have some SKF Wheel Bearing on my 95 Talon... going on 200k miles on those bearings

Anyone have experience with these collet wheel bearing removers?? If it works, I like it the portability of the tool versus the rod and the split thingy.

Those collet type bearing removal tools are mainly for pulling the race out of a 'blind' hole, one that you cannot get to from the other side. They rely on getting a good grip with that little lip you see in the example. I have a set for the swingarm bearings on my Stelvio because there is no other way to get the darn race out. The collet type would not be my first choice for a normal wheel bearing.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just get the set that spud recommends!

In addition to what Peter said, you would also need to carry a slide hammer to use the blind bearing removers. Therefore, the blind bearing removers are actually less compact than the split collet and driver. On the trail side you can always use a rock instead of a hammer.

I'm sorry if I've read right past it but over at Adventure Riders it is posted that for the rear wheel alone we need:Rear Hub Bearing Sizes

(2) Rear Hub Bearings, Sprocket Side: 6202 2RS
(2) Rear Hub Bearings, Brake Rotor Side: 6302 2RS

(1) Sprocket Carrier Bearing: 6004 2RS

Spud is that your experience as well ? I mistook the posts as need only one each on the rear.

[Rodtheviking]

I think its just one each of the bearings. 6202 2rs, 6303 2rs and 6004 2 rs. At least that is what I ordered.

Front is 2 6302 2rs.

Post Edited to Correct My Error

I was in error, and Ohio_Danimal is correct. I received a replacement hub from CSC, and apparently it was an earlier version of the hub. Members in foreign countries might have the same replacment hub as I. This earlier version of the hub has the following bearings.

Rear Hub Bearing Sizes

Rear Hub Bearing, Sprocket Side: 6202 2RS
Rear Hub Bearing, Brake Rotor Side: 6302 2RS
Sprocket Carrier Bearing: 6004 2RS

However, CSC, Cyclone RX3 motorcycles sold in the United States have the following bearings.

Rear Hub Bearing Sizes

Rear Hub Bearing, Sprocket Side: Two 6202 2RS Bearings
Rear Hub Bearing, Brake Rotor Side: Two 6302 2RS Bearings
Sprocket Carrier Bearing: 6004 2RS

So reading though this thread yer come to
the conclusion that Zongshen use a cheap
poor quility bearing in the wheels.... not
to much of a issue as easly changed...

BUT

What are the chances they use the same make
of bearing in there motors ??...

yer order ALL your bearings from one surplyer wouldn't you
for a better bulk rate......

I have had my NC250 engine apart, and it employs excellent bearings. In addition, all of the photographs I have seen of the engine display excellent bearings. The front wheel bearings of the RX3 are also excellent.

I don't know if Zongshen manufactures the rear hub, or gets it from another supplier. As I said, the front wheel bearings are very good.

Check post #37 of this thread.

Well that's exactly why I ordered the 3 set for the rear and 2 for the front the day you posted this thread! I was just wanting to clarify that I wasnt reading it wrong.
