Crankshaft Bearings + Oil Seals SKF MBK 51

Crankshaft bearings for motorcycle, scooter and moped

Crankshaft bearings ensure the smooth operation of engines, whether on scooters, motorcycles or mopeds. The crankshaft is an integral part of the engine and the associated bearings and seals must be in perfect condition.

A crankshaft bearing set consists of ball bearings and oil seals. They are usually sold as a complete set and must be replaced each time the crankshaft is installed/re-installed.

What are the symptoms of defective crankshaft bearings?

The main symptoms of a defective crankshaft bearing are:

• Unusual metallic noises coming from the direction of the crankshaft.
• Unusual vibrations of the vehicle.

Defective bearings must be replaced immediately, otherwise there is risk of further damage to the engine. There are many different tools for crankshaft removal or bearing pullers.

You can see how to change crankshaft bearings in our crankshaft disassembly and assembly tutorial.

Tuning Level: Racing

We categorize our products into different performance levels  Original, Sport, Racing and High End , so that our customers can choose the right parts for their setup. It is really important to combine parts that belong to the same tuning level, this is especially true for cylinders, crankshafts and exhausts.

Racing products are designed for a more extreme uses and are developed primarily for racing. Whether you stay at 50cc or increase the displacement, the corresponding Racing parts produce much higher performance than the original parts in order to achieve maximum power.
