So what do we use for center crank bearing?

[Eddy321]

Since it's no longer available what are we suppose to use for center crank bearings for
5KE (and 4DP if I am not mistaken)?
There is probably enough demand to justify making a run?!!?
Can Yamaha reverse this decision?

Thanks

This has already been covered in other threads but Koyo still make the std bearing, that Yamaha/koyo then ground back to clear the centre seal. DTR, Fondseca and loads of other people on ebay are offering a modified std koyo bearing. I would have thought that a machine shop in the US would be doing this by now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-TZ...0AAOSwux5YRXdW

I have the modified Koyo centre bearings if you want them.

Also crank kits for 4DP and 5KE

this would imply there are 5KE's running around here. ....sadly there aren't!

Hi Vince

Its the same bearing from 91 onwards which is why I am surprised there isn't a supplier in the states yet.
