Worm Drive Ball Bearing Size?
Hi Guys,
I have a 1999 SV650S Wonder if you can help, just been fitting all new clutch bit and thought i'f give the worm drive a good clean while i was there and apply new grease, however when i opened the drive i notice there to be alot of ball bearings missing, not good. Now i'm thinking i might just replace all the ball bearings with new ones as i really don't want to be buying another drive. My questions is: What size are the ball bearings? Cheers, Si |

Re: Worm Drive Ball Bearing Size
They probably fell out due to the drive being worn.

Re: Worm Drive Ball Bearing Size
Just get a new one. I recently changed mine along with the clutch cable and it's all back to being smooth as silk.

Worm Drive Ball Bearing Size
Mine was £43.75 from Franco's 11 months ago.
I wouldn't faff with the bearings, chances are the races are stuffed. |
