Where can you get bearing and such for bikes and ATV's besides the dealers? I'm not about to pay $36 for 1 bearing and i know there must be cheaper places around that have the same things i need. Is there any speciffic type of store i should look for?

I can order 2 online for less than the dealer wants for one but i'm looking to get them ASAP and would rather not wait. :bang:

I've had some luck with taking my old bearings to a local bearing supplier. It's called New Mexico Bearing and Seal, while they may not work for you, try looking up a bearing/seal shop in your area. Take one of your old ones down, let them measure it, and see if they have them, or can get them. I've gotten main bearings for a KX for $8.00 each, same bearing, but diffrent manufacturer.

I looked up "bearings" in the yellow pages and there it was! It was also under "seals". YZ165

A quick search showed 9 in the Philadelphia area. Call around and see what they've got.

Bearings are a common industrial commodity. The Yellow Pages is all you'll need to find a local bearing house.

bearings

Go to an electric motor supply shop if there are no bearing shops nearby.
