My son has an 03 EC250 (but of course, I am the one that has to work on it) and I am scratching my head about the rear wheel bearings. Gofasters only has parts back to 06 listed, but it have noticed places selling bearings for the EC that list them from 02 up. Problem is his seems to take 2-6004's and 1-6005. They (GF) list 1-6204, 1-6004, and 1-6005. I have put it back together with what I listed first and it seems tight. I had the 6204, but saw no where for it to fit. I checked to make sure there was a mechanical connection from outside spacer to outside space so no bearings bind and there is. Its OK around 40 NM torque, but at 80 I can turn it by hand, but as soon as I let go it stops. Am I using the right bearings? I don't see anyway to make the 6204 fit in there as it is a larger diameter, not just thicker. Was maybe 03 a split year or could someone have changed the rear wheel (I kinda doubt it because it hadn't been ridden hardly any). Anyone have any ideas? Looking at Matts breakdown picture seems to confirm what I have is correct, his bearings appear to be 2-6002's
