Description
YETI SnowMX jackshaft & driveshaft bearings Service Kit - every bearing you need to keep everything spinning like new.
Item notes: Contains:
- YPDR1259 6304 BEARING (shafts) qty 2

- YPDR1566 6200 BEARING (belt idler) qty 1
Inspect/Replace notes: You should inspect your bearings every 25 hours or so. Ensure the shafts can rotate as freely as possible - I suggest to get the bike on a stand, remove the Syncrodrive belt, remove the chain (or at least remove the tensioner), remove the 4 suspension shaft bolts to remove the skid and prop up the track so that it's not resting on the drivers (or at least adjust the rear axle to take all the track tension off). Push and pull on the shafts to check for any slop/play. Turn the shafts and carefully feel/listen for any roughness or notchy-ness. Visually, any rust around the seals is a sign that it has been contaminated by water.
Your standards should be high - a bearing that's still in tip-top condition will be totally tight, essentially silent, and perfectly smooth. If any bearing shows any signs of defect, you're better off replacing it rather than pushing it - it could be 50 hours away from failure, or it could be 5 hours away, and that's not a game you want to play in the backcountry! I suggest to always replace all the bearings at the same time, including the often-overlooked belt idler. The cost of the bearings themselves is low and it's not that much more work to do all 5 vs just 1. You'll get better results and more peace of mind.
Bearing life can vary, say 50-100 hours, depending on shaft alignment, suspension loads and riding intensity, whether you've managed to keep the seals relatively clean/dry, etc.
For the bearing change procedure itself, please follow the Yeti instructions closely.
Fitment notes: These parts fit every Yeti model to date.
FAQ: What is a C3 Yeti "Service kit"?
A: Everything you need to "do it once, do it right" for the common inspect/replace maintenance tasks on your Yeti, with a focus on simplicity and quick-ship convenience!
- Placing a C3 order anyways and know you'll need to refresh your ski pivot soon (for example)? Skip the digging through parts diagrams, we've done it for you - just add to cart! (Or call your local YETI SnowMX dealer, they should have all this in stock as well.)
- Looking for more specific advice on a bigger upgrade/repair/bike swap/etc? We suggest to stick with your local Yeti dealer.
FAQ: Why do you have ABC but not XYZ?
A: We had to draw the line somewhere haha! These items/kits cover the top 30(ish) most common part numbers, which account for roughly 50% of all Yeti parts needs. While we'd love to serve the other half of you too, for any of those hundreds of less-popular items, it's probably a better fit to get in touch with your local YETI SnowMX dealer anyways! If that's not possible for some reason, everything's on c3powersports.com/yeti and yetisnowmx.ca
FAQ: Can I order only the X and Y from this, but NOT the whole Service Kit?
A: Sorry no, the kits are pre-packaged and inventory-managed - having to dig through them would largely defeat the purpose outlined above. Further, based on our decade of experience we know the kits we've come up with are quite logical to keep your Yeti running its best - example, you shouldn't want to replace only 1 bearing at a time anyways. Besides, the overall kit costs are all very fair - it's not like we're jacking things up with $200 of items that you don't need.
