German roller bearing source

Can anyone give me a source for quality German made bearings to rebuild my 81 430 CR.

Also does anyone know what sizes are neede for a complete overhaul?

Thanks guys,

Darrell

I would give George Erl (Uptite Husqvarna)a call. He's very fussy about bearings and where he gets them. 1 714 540-2920

There are no roller bearings, ball bearings. With the exception of the double row maximum capacity bearing near the ignition all the ones I got from Halls were name brand european or Japanese. They carry non maximum capacity but I asked about that one and got elsewhere. I may be wrong but I think some of the big name bearing companies bought up american companies and seem to prefer to sell here under that brand made here in the instance I got.

Double row angular contact maximum capacity 5205 or 3205 depending on manufacturers preference of numbering. If it doesn't have an M it isn't maximum capacity with loading slot. Non max is two rows of 9 balls, origional is two rows of 14 balls but that kind of cage might not be in favor and you end up with two rows of 13 balls.

You have four 6205 or perhaps just 205 from some. The two side by side on the drive side of the crank are normal and open, the one behind the clutch is open but has a ring around it so it doesn't fully fit into the hole (which might not be as tight as when new) I am pretty sure a N in the designation refers to the ring. The last 6205 goes at the sprocket it has one side sealed but you may well have to just peel off one seal from a 2rs bearing. There are two more smaller bearings one has a ring and is on the primary drive side rear pocket, the other is at the clutch actuation location I have verified the one without the ring is just like a wheel bearing but no seals 6302. Then you have the needle bearings in the starter gears and the seals.

Inserted later, The numbers and letters on the boxes of the bearings with the rings are
6303 NR/C3 which is a Skf made in france one I got from Halls
6205 N/C3 which is a Nachi-fujikoshi made in Japan also procured from Halls by part#

And C3 should be on them or their boxes. c3 I believe is a continious use electric motor rating but they also fit just a bit tighter than non c3 and generally should be used in all motorcycle stuff like cases which get warm, not sure about wheel bearings.

There are some balls to make the shift drum turn easy but mine didn't want to come apart and I didn't mess with it. I would put the rods the shift forks ride on on a flat surface.

The parts sheets on these vintage left kicker ones doesn't tell you a whole lot, the more modern stuff I think is better.
