Full Version: Pilot bearing- 2RS?

Hi all,

The knackered pilot bearing (along with various other tired bits) in 814 is getting replaced.

Most photos I see for this bearing show a rubber shielded version. Presumably this will be a 2RS bearing...

The existing bearing is very rough and has no rubber shield (visible, its still in the crankshaft, so may have one on the back, but I can't see that helping much!)

Should the replacement be a 2RS bearing? Any problem with fitting a sealed 2RS bearing where its not specified?

Cheers

andy
To answer this, yes it should be 2RS.

The one I removed with 2 metal shields actually had rusty marks on the inside face....

Unbranded and very rough indeed!
