Bearings were shot on my WI front hub so looked @ the bearings and they were marked 6902rs.Ordered some new bearings from a shop on the phone,they arrived this morning opened the bag which was marked 6902rs and popped the bearings in to the front wheel hub assembled the wheel but something was not quite right Ie a part not sitting flush.
Checked the bearings and they were marked 61902rs,just checked the WI site and they should be 6902rs!!!!!

They fitted in ok but I take it they are slightly differant?

6902-2rs and 61902-2rs (the 2rs being two rubber shields) are the same size 15x28x7mm. The ones you have should fit ok.
