This is one bearing you need to watch closely on the DR.
 
If you ride for too long with worn-out cush drive rubber dampers, the sprocket carrier bearing, AKA the cush drive, will fail quickly and have a large amount of play.
 
Failing to replace the bearing and rubber dampers quickly can lead to catastrophic failure leaving you stranded on the trail.

If you are looking for the ultimate in reliability before a long trip or are simply pushing your bike to its limit and finding the OEM quality bearing not lasting long enough, then this kit is for you.
 
Our high-performance kit uses a much better quality bearing than the OEM or any aftermarket kit, such as All Balls or Moose Racing.
 
We use high-precision bearings from the European brand SKF (same as high-quality manufacturers like Nachi, FAG, KOYO, etc.) with advanced seal design providing constant smooth operation and long service life.
Rings and balls are made of select materials that have superbly controlled accuracies such as roundness, contour, surface finish, and hardness to provide quieter operation, reduced vibration levels, and long life.
Rivet-type pressed steel cages for strength and durability.
High-performance grease for long life and low noise.

Combining a unique lip design and seal groove provides a labyrinth and steady seal contact. They are, of course, sealed on both sides, unlike the OEM. The kit also contains a new dust seal to rebuild and start 100% fresh.
 
Note: This is not the complete wheel bearing kit but only the sprocket carrier kit. The complete wheel bearing kit is available here: Rear Wheel Bearing High-Performance Kit.
