3 Bearing Rear

outthere · Jun 7, 2019

I have 2 set of wheels, the second being magnesium in color and the rear is a 3 bearing unit. I tried mounting this up today and the rotor and pulley are off to the left 3/16" of an inch. The bearings all seem to be the same and the assembled order looks correct. Does this wheel just fit the Uly?

Cooter · Jun 8, 2019

The axle is different for the 3-bearing wheel.

The black axle will do both wheels though.

Isn’t there a different spacer for the 3 beating wheel?

Cooter · Jun 8, 2019

Yes, absolutely. The 2 bearing spacer would never fit in a 3 bearing wheel though!

An assembled 3-bearing wheel will fit (with these 2 parts) on any XB.

Axle: G0321.5AK
Shim: G0620.5AK

Heres the assembled order of a 2010 Uly ^^^

#13 is about 3/16" Are you missing that?

this happens alot mike. and it goes like this:
the 3-bearing XB rear wheel will fit all XB's except the 7/2002 thru 12/2002 XB9.
the 3-bearing axle will interchange with both 2 & 3 bearing wheel styles
you are missing items 1 & 2 in the provided schematic and that is why the wheel is shifted over towards the rotor side.
items # 1 & 2 both install on the rotor side.
the schematic i've listed provides the part numbers. buy new or used. still a few of each in dealer inventory.
IMPORTANT: when installing these you MUST install a small amount of grease around outside lip of the spacer. and you MUST initially snug up axle....the loosen 2 turns...then torque to spec. that procedure properly seats everything.

I just found out myself the the M2 Cyclone also uses a 3 bearing rear wheel.

njloco · Jun 8, 2019

Do you know if it s the same as the XB’s rear 3 bearing set up ?

outthere · Jun 8, 2019

Thanks fellas. Item 1&2 will get ordered. One more item. I'm hoping these new Dunlop slicks don't grow as there's not much room between the swinging arm and tire when installed. 60 series aspect ratio.

Looking at the wheel it looks like all the pieces are there. The 3/16 spacer is installed behind the bearing instead of on the outboard side.

Not sure if the bearings are the same I never looked into it. I'm sure John will know.

outthere · Jun 8, 2019

I know the 2 I can see are the same

Cooter · Jun 8, 2019

Lunatic and I agree you are missing the spacer, (#13 in my pic, #2 in his), and thats all you need to install the wheel correctly in your bike, with the right axle. Part numbers in my other post.

You 'might' not have the additional Uly dust seals (he only mentioned #1, but it's #8 as well in his pic), but you can omit them. They won't affect the assembly and the bearings are sealed already with the "RS" suffix.

Yes, all three bearings are the same:

That black thing (spacer) in the 3rd pic isn't what your talking about, possibly installed in the wrong order? thanks

Cooter · Jun 8, 2019

Yes, you are correct:up:
It's the big, thick (3/16"), black washer that goes on the axle after the axle goes through the wheel, on the single bearing side, then thread the axle in the swing arm.

External of the wheel, not between the bearings. Your pic seems to show the spacer was put behind the bearing.

Neither of the exploded views show any spacer between the dual bearings either.

Outlaw · Jun 8, 2019

Njloco the 3 bearings on the Cyclone are not the same. 2 different part #s.

outthere · Jun 9, 2019

I'll get that fixed, thanks. In the meantime In bought another NOS 2 bearing wheel. $149 complete.

The Bob · Jun 9, 2019

My 08 Uly has the 3 bearing mod and it doesn't look like the pictures shown before.

This top pic (drive sprocket side) shows where the spacer does NOT go. It goes on the brake rotor side shown by the bottom pic.

It is easy to mistake where the spacer goes because it looks like it fits perfectly on the drive belt side.

Thanks to the lunatic for guidance.
