Does anyone know , is blue the thickest one and is the thickness descend or ascend from there? I have read that Sean M recomends blue for older rebuilds. I am in a rebuild now . Any thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Short answer - don't know.
Possibly a daft question but have you established that the clearances are out of spec? i.e. plasti-gauged?
If they are have you measures the journals?
IMO it isn't a case of slapping the thickest bearing in and hoping for the best.

Sorry for not knowing every thing I thought this was a place for learning. So you do know that the blue bearing is thickest.
Yamaha used to publish the size of shafts, housings and bearings in parts books such as that for the XS1100 and for that model at least the blue bearing was the thickest. Table two here appears to be incomplete, but you can see enough to know that blue is thickest anyway.
