Where can I get Husky parts in BC? I tried 5th gear where I bought my bike and they didn't return my calls.

The BMW Dealers don't have the parts available without ordering from Italy!!

I need wheel bearings and BC Bearing says they are specific to Husky.

Any ideas out there. This is ridiculous..........:(

Bill at 5th Gear is understaffed (maybe on his own?) this month so you need to persevere with your phone or email. I talk to him every week (gives me service advice, brings in parts, or fixes my stuff) - so maybe it's my fault that you're having trouble connecting.

Failing that then try Mike at Husky NW across the border (also a site sponsor). Great guy with decent parts inventory (I spoke with hime yesterday & know he has wheel bearings on his shelf) - will ship promptly to you on VI. http://www.dualsportbc.com/forums/showthread.php?7405-Husqvarna-North-West

Good luck,

What bike are you looking for bearings for? I was able to get all the wheel bearings for my 610 from a B&B Bearing in Surrey.

edit....here are the bearing numbers and dimensions for the 610. In the back you need 2 x 6005 bearings and 1 x 63005 bearing. The 6005 is 25 x 47 x 12mm and the 63005 is 24 x 47 x 16mm. For the front you need 2 x 6905, dimensions are 25x42x9. The 63005 is an oddball bearing and they will prbably have to order it in for you. They might question the 5 digit number....but tell them you know for sure it is correct. When you order your bearings go for the 2RS version....double rubber seal. These will last longer. Also make sure they get you a well known Japanese brand of bearing. They will outlast Allballs, Moose, OEM bearings, and cheaper Chinese bearings.

Hope this helps.

Hiya, my husband bought his Husky 450 in BC and didn't get any service (before the Pacific BMW Yamaha came into the picture). Anyways, he bought quite a bit of stuff from Ross Rocher in Ontario. They carry an excellent inventory of Husky parts. He's been happy with what he got through them.

3 years of owning two husky's never had a problem. however, having to maintianing a KTM for 3 years would be a problem. parts or no parts.

when you see 3 hundy-frickin-million of anything,that people have gone out and laid money down to own it, don't it make you ponder just a moment? sheep is one thing- but parts of sheep is really good! (damn i'm funny some day's!)

+1 on the warning about Allballs and Moose... waste of money buying their bearings. SKF, NTN or FAG are good choices.

I have used just about of the above, Allballs, Koyo and Toyo. My opinion is bearing life is mainly determined by riding conditions, lubrication and seals. Regularly serviced wheel bearings well packed with seals in good condition will last virtually forever. Problem is we get lazy and don't take them out and repack them. Double sealed bearings are great, just make sure you remove one or both of the seals and pack the bearing with proper waterproof grease before installation. Factory grease is worthless in wet coast conditions. I use an old dental pick to carefully remove the factory seal. Clean out the factory grease and repack. Snap the seal back in place and apply a good amount of grease under the outer bearing seal.

I drilled and tapped grease nipples into my bikes wheel hubs. After first filling the void it only takes a couple of pumps of grease now and again and my bearings stay happy and water stays out! Use caution as if you over grease you will push out your seals as they are not designed to act with inboard pressure.

Good luck

I would caution against packing the bearing full with grease before putting the seal back on. The grease will expand as the bearing heats up... too much and it will push past the seal lips.

Interesting but I have never had any issues with seals being pushed out. The coefficient of thermal expansion for high pressure wheel bearing grease is very small and even if it did push a seal out the temperature would have to be extreme before the grease liquified and ran out. Filling the hub with grease with a grease gun through a grease nipple would be a more likely way to push out the seals.

I use Pennzoil 707 which seems to work well and stands up well to heat, water and shock loads and has a high dropping point.

I think MadMax has made an improvement, and it'll make his bearings last longer.

My bike is designed with a grease nipple on the rear hub, (and one on the swing arm too) and I always see grease (and dirt and water) squeeze out from the seal when I apply grease with a grease gun.

FYI we are picking up Husqvarna at Four Seasons Motorsports in Vernon. The bikes will be here next week and we'll be finalizing our parts stocking order over the next few. Parts are shipped direct from Husky in Italy, 5-8 business days.

Does this mean DSBC has a new site sponsor for 2011?
Fantastic.

husky parts these day's is not like it was 3-4 years ago. the number of dealers locally and the distribution of oem parts is readily available. ussally a week. i used to buy all my parts from halls cycles in chicago. no longer need to that these days. we have two husky dealers i know of in the lower mainland (pacific and international) and another 3-4 in the province. if you're in a real pinch tasky's or husky nw is a couple hours south. it's no longer a one dealer distribution.

in fact i'm so impressed of the progress husky made in the last 2 years that i may go ahead and pick up a TE511.
