bearing

Hi guys, I need to remove a needle bearing from the rear wheel to get it powdercoated. Any ideas how to do that? The only suggestion I can find is to cut it with a dremel which will be my last option. Is there any specific tool or technique that allows to pull it out somehow? I don't care to...

Noticed a weird squeaky, siren-like sound at highway speeds near the front of the bike. Thought it was the front bearing so had the replace and still hear it. Any ideas?

What are the sleekest ways to attach ram mount to our bikes? Just got myself a TomTom and it comes with the reservoir mount, but it makes the GPS way too high and over bearing for my tastes. I'd rather getting it closer to the speedo. Btw, I have a naked bike so that does limit my options...

Hi guys, I am hearing a knocking sound from the left side of the engine. The sound can be heard after revving the engine and the rPMs start to decrease/ go down after 4000 to idle. When i'm revving the bike and the rPMs go up, I can't hear the sound. You can hear what I hear in this video...

I clearly can't catch a break with my rear wheel. All of this started after taking my wheel off to have the tire replaced. I rode for ~1000 miles problem free before removing the wheel. In a previous thread I figured out the odd crunching sound I heard, after putting the wheel back on, was...

Ok, I rebuilt my water pump with the service manual I hand. The instruction doesn't say clear which side of the oil seal goes to which bearing side and the water seal side. My mistake that didn't notice when disassembled the oil seal. Oil seal has two surface sides, one with spring and one...

Well I finally found out what has been causing my weird crunching sound, my sprocket side rear wheel bearing. The thing was toast, I'm guessing from the previous owners fall. Since the sprocket separated from the hub, it was pretty easy to remove the bearing and replace it. I realized I...

The 2004-2009 Yamaha FZ6 uses standard caged ball bearing upper and lower steering head bearings. Owners who ride in the rain, powerwash their bikes or keep their bike outdoors in humid climates may find these bearings go bad prematurely due to corrosion. This is the procedure to replace...

I just bought my FZ6 about a month ago with 2800 miles on it. I noticed almost right away that there is a slight noise coming from the front end. Not a banging or clicking noise, but more of a groaning or moaning noise at speed. I don't think its anything with the engine because when I pull...
