FACTORY LINKS Wheel Bearing Kit for YAMAHA YFM 700 RAPTOR 2WD, YFZ 450 2006-2012

FACTORY LINKS offers this wheel bearing for YAMAHA YFM 700 RAPTOR 2WD, YFZ 450 2006-2012. Each wheel spins on two bearings in the hub, separated by a spacer. Water and mud eventually damage them: play, rough spots, noise.

What is this bearing made of?

Races and balls in hardened chrome steel, 100Cr6 type, very hard and fatigue-resistant, protected by rubber seals.

• Double seal (2RS): a seal on each side, very well sealed against water and mud, essential off-road.
• Limit: slightly more drag than a metal-shielded bearing (ZZ), which spins more freely but seals far less well.
• Fitting: press or drift it in on the outer race, never hammer on the seal; keep the pressure washer away from the hubs.

Why choose FACTORY LINKS?

Factory Links, founded in 2014 by Pierre Mege between Auvergne (France) and Virginia (USA), supplies original equipment to Sherco and Electric Motion and is the official bearing and linkage partner of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship (2026-2028).

When should you replace the bearings on your YAMAHA YFM 700 RAPTOR 2WD?

Check the wheels for play at every wash with the wheel off the ground: a failing bearing can lock the wheel. Pressure washing forces water in and speeds up wear.
