Buy YXZ1000R replacement wheel bearings and special tools to perform a wheel bearing replacement on your Yamaha YXZ1000R: bit.ly/YXZ1000R-wheel-bearing...
See how to replace the wheel bearings on a Yamaha YXZ1000R in this video from Partzilla.com.
A note about the parts for this job: you’re going to need two bearings PER SIDE, so to do both the right and left front of the unit, you’ll need FOUR of the wheel bearings:

Also, the inner and outer oil seals are DIFFERENT PART NUMBERS:
Outer seal: www.partzilla.com/product/yam...
Inner seal: www.partzilla.com/product/yam...
So for each side, TWO bearings, one INNER seal, one OUTER seal.
We’re going to have to do some disassembly to start. John will show you how to remove the steering knuckle in order to access the wheel bearings. We’ll remove the brake caliper, steering arm, and get the upper and lower A-arms removed.
Then, we’ll remove oil seals and the bearings. You’ll need a bearing puller, which you can find here: www.partzilla.com/product/suz...
Some people have had luck using chisels to get them out, but we’ll use a puller. Once they’re removed, we'll work on getting replacement wheel bearings pressed back in. This Motion Pro bearing driver set is what we used: www.partzilla.com/product/aft...
With the bearings in, we’ll replace the seals and get everything back together again.
