I got track off and the drive out to change them there lower bearings. Should I change the 2 uppers also? What kind of life do they have. Got to say Im not very pleased with 4,000 miles and having to replace bearings.
 
I did a track swap this summer and I replaced all bearings, I had two bad lower ones, the uppers were fine but I changed them all. My sled only had 2000 miles on it! Your lucky! LOL. I changed them out with OEM bearings from Yamaha.
 
if your bearing was sitting in grease on a conveyer belt and not in snow with sand and salt and temp changes every day with a wack of varible speed torques you might be un-happy but i think you did better than avg. for a sled . you will feel a diff. when you replace it .you will probably wonder why you did not do it sooner ..
 
Yup yup

Its a 98srx600. I could have done a better job designing a setup for those bearings I guarantee!!!!
