I have to replace the rear bearings on my warrior 01. My question is what is the best brand of bearings to install? Stay with yamaha and pay more or go with after market?

What ever you buy I would pack more grease in them. If you have ever look inside a new bearing there is barely any grease at all in there from the factory. I take a pick and gently pick out the plastic/rubber seal on the bearing and fill it with grease. I do that to both sides. My out look on that is more grease it stays cooler and also if it is packed solid with grease no water can get in.

When I had my warrior. I did kinda what TRX450R_Racer said, except I pulled the inside seal off of both bearings,drilled holes in the sleeve and added a zerk fitting to carrier, and filled it with grease to keep all water , dirt and every thing else out of the bearings. Jason

also take caution when taking your old bearings out. if they have spun already they will have welded themselves to your axle. if your not cautious you will have to replace more than the bearings.... and dont have a dealer do it if they are welde. i say this from expierience of my brothers i took apart and had to cut the race off the axle. and mine personally i took to the dealer and they beat my axle out with a hammer and caused me to have to buy a new axle! because they wanted to use brute force instead of the press they told me they used.....
