Anyone else having to replace their bearings on Yeti SB75 after only 4 months? Also, anyone else got any ideas on alternatives to the £279 the dealer is asking for bearing kit?

Ah the joys of Yeti ownership.
At least your swingarm hasn't cracked yet!
I had both within 4 months.

£279 must be some kind of full rebuild kit + labour?

If you want to do them yourself then BETD should sell a kit made up of Enduro bearings for about £75. The shop should also be able to sell you this as part of the fitting as well if you don't want to work on it yourseld

speak to the shop or importers.. you might get them replaced under warranty. It's a well known issue with them that the bearings are rubbish.

Thanks folks

Have dropped a note to importers and also to BETD so let's hope for an outcome that does not cost £279 (parts only)

Better to burn out than fade away no?

Silverfish there £150, expensive but still cheaper than the dealer.

Google suggests that they are enduro Max bearings, I'd get them out and order them from here http://mbbearings.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3
