I'm working on a customers 2009' YZFR6 sportbike and through the course of removing and transporting the wheels back & forth from a sub contractor(who lost it somewhere  after they pressure washed both wheels for a whopping $85  >:( ) we lost part # 90387-28019-00 rear collar. I NEED to make an overnight order for this part after I've located a Yam. dealer who has it(does Yamaha have a dealer/parts locating service like Honda??)and can ask if they'll ship it overnight.   
                                                                                  Anybody ?  ??? :-[ :'(

You shouldn't ever power wash sealed bearings, or any thing with a seal for that matter; the intense localized pressure will force itself past the seal, flushing out the lube and ruining the bearings. Good luck finding the part...
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Nothing like 'adding insult to injury'..., Sorry I didn't give all the details of the job and what all was done;scottly,the necessary precautions were taken.
The question IS: Do you know of a Yamaha dealer who'll help ?

Parts like collars and axle spacers aren't normal replacement parts, so most dealers don't keep them in stock. Like I said, good luck. :(
