exup bearing price shock
solorider:
how can yamaha justify the price of the exup bearing price? it is £41.10 inc vat for what is just a steel tube,luckily there is a motorcycle dealer selling them for £16.35 plus post which i think is still expensive,and why do i need it,both of my bearings are very worn,luckily the replacement exup valve is from a low mileage bike so has little wear on it but the breakers where i got my down pipes from took the bearing out
here is the ebay page if anyone needs one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290615237103?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

well there's summat i have never replaced on any of the fazers i've owned perhaps it's cause i keep mine well lubed lol
solorider:
my bike has 70k miles on it and there is loads of play in the bearing,i tried my replacement vlave in the bearing and that was the same,also my exup valve has a groove on the pulley end as well so needed replacing
solorider:
well the bearing has turned up,took a week and it only came from walesi have a picture of the offending item and i still cannot find how yamaha can justify the price
steeeve66:
i love that they call it a 'bearing' when really it's only a collar (although strictly speaking it does "allow constrained relative motion between two or more parts"). Are there any local engineering firms near you? dead easy to get one made up - Bexley Engineering would almost cert do it if you're anywhere near SE London / North Kent.
