Logix, I think these are the right SKF bearing numbers you are looking for. 6005-2RS and 6006-2RS
not trying to hijack the thread, but does anyone know the SKF bearing numbers for the front and rear wheel bearings on an 08" 1125R? :D

Inspecting the bearings should be a part of every tire change, but only replace as needed. Remember, the bearing race surfaces in the wheels suffer a bit a wear each time you remove/install bearings, meaning that there is a finite number of times you can replace the bearings before the races are worn to the point that the press fit is no longer sufficient. The wear can be accelerated if you are using some sort of pounding method to remove/insert your bearings instead of using a press. That said, I've read postings from riders who have worn their bearing races and used a Loctite-type product to help secure the bearings and keep them from spinning.
Thanks everybody, there's some good info here. With no signs of damage, I'll leave them alone. ;)
