So, you can go one of three ways: sealed 6206, open 6206, NJ206ET (all C3 clearance spec). IMO I would just put the roller back in, can't wrap my head around the sealed bearing idea. One more thing to go wrong.

FYI:

6306 - 30 x 72 x 19
6206 - 30 x 62 x 16
NJ206ET - 30 x 62 x 16

For rebuilding an older bike, I've used the M306 heavy duty version with extra ball and machined cage. Still running today in an '00! The M206 is another option. Also, now there are more ceramic and ceramic hybrid choices available than there were a few years back.

This is all relative to the 250/300 only.
i have sealed or open 6206 in stock. and nj206 on order, for delivery tomorrow.. what works better? i know that honda tried the roller for a few years, on a quad and had lotsa failures, so they went back to the balls...

welp, had to go do some banking, slowed me down a little bit. cases are ready to be split if i could get that dumb right crank nut off. it's lh thread correct? loosens cw. correct?


edit: got the nut. had to break out the 1" impact. cracked a 1/2" 30mm thin wall trying to loosen it.
