Product Information

Full details

The SKF ball bearing (742.02.27) is an essential precision component designed for motorcycle enthusiasts and mechanics looking to ensure optimal rotational performance in two-wheelers. Its primary benefit is a highly durable, debris-resistant construction that extends the service life of critical drivetrain or wheel assemblies; however, users must verify that their specific application matches the exact 12mm x 37mm x 12mm dimensions to ensure a proper, safe fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this bearing?

The bearing has an internal diameter of 12mm, an external diameter of 37mm, and a width of 12mm.

Can I remove the silicone shields?

The shields are designed to stay in place to protect the internal lubricant; removing them will expose the bearing to contaminants and shorten its life.

Does this bearing come pre-lubricated?

Yes, it is factory-lubricated and sealed for immediate installation.

Is this compatible with all motorcycle brands?

No, compatibility is determined by the size and application requirements, not the brand. Please verify your manual for size compatibility.

How should I store these bearings?

Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from corrosive chemicals or high humidity.

Troubleshooting

Bearing rotation feels stiff after installation

Ensure the bearing is not misaligned in the housing or that the press fit hasn't deformed the outer race.

Audible noise/grinding during operation

Check if debris has bypassed the seals or if the bearing was damaged during the installation process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality material construction from a trusted manufacturer
  • Dual-shielded design prevents premature wear from debris
  • Consistent, precise fitment for specialized motorcycle applications
  • Reduces internal friction for smoother vehicle handling

Cons

  • Non-adjustable size requires exact component matching
  • Requires professional installation tools to avoid race damage
  • Not suitable for high-heat industrial applications outside of its intended scope

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SKF 742.02.27 should be performed using a dedicated bearing press or a driver kit that contacts the outer race only to prevent damage to the shields or internal rolling elements. Before installation, ensure the housing seat is clean, free of burrs, and lightly lubricated. Compatibility is strictly limited to applications requiring a 12mm x 37mm x 12mm specification; always consult your motorcycle service manual for the exact part number reference. For care, avoid using high-pressure power washers directly at the seal interface, as this can force water past the silicone shields and cause internal corrosion.
