the big bearing, known as the rear, is 25.4 mm.

I take it your bearing failed on you too? Alot of us over hear have had that problem too. Make sure your piston/sleeve are still in good condition.

check out boca bearings, these guys make some of the best bearings around.
here is the link - vz-b bearings

Piston and Sleeve use to cost me about $180 - $200 Aus which is about half price of the motor. But that was a couple of years ago.

hi

boca is good tried and tested.

but i had problem with bocas ceramic bearing. after 1 race there was lots of play in it already. i told them, they said return it and they may replace it. i living in australia, couldnt be bothered half way across the world and waiting a month for it to come back. i expect a bit more from a $50 bearing!

i have also tried vxb bearing, they dont seem to roll that free, not bad though, it has stayed very tight after about 1 gallons use. and no play.
