Does anybody know which bearings are in the wheels and steering head?

I really like to have spares for longer trips.. thanks)

Really ? I can get this information for you tomorrow, if you really want?
But saying that you'd like to have spares for the longer trips has me and I'm sure many other forum readers and Adv riders wondering, How long are your longer trips ????

 

[Helgi]

Well, last year it was rather "longer" trip from Moscow to Vladivostok through Morocco and Central Asia (about 45k kms by 3 months)... It was not on AT, but on xt660z tenere, and i have to say that this bike also was really good for this challenge)

So it will be good to know bearings types)

 

[Helgi]

Only things I had to repair while this trip was the bearings and changing tires and chain... and next part (planning for AT) is the challenge from Chile to Alaska))) maybe it will be done next year

Unbelievable, this is an Adventure Ride I could only dream of
I take my hat of to you and in future I will call you Sir Helgi.
Anyway, as promised the bearing parts you will need are :
F/wheel 2x 6004
R/wheel 2x 6204 & (1x 6322 for sprocket carrier)
Steering Top 1x 32005JS
Steering Bottom 1x 32006J
Remember you will need to re-use your existing seals.
I hope one day we will see you in Australia.

Thanks for your words, and i really wish that one day we will meet somewhere on the roads or trails (and i like the idea of Australia))
Ordered needed bearings. Also i found which seals are needed -

Front wheel 2x 28X42X8
Rest wheel 30X56X7.5 and 30X47X7.5
And o-ring for sprocket carrier 55X2
