Wheel Bearings

[hapahaole]

I feel like something might feel a little weird up front, has anyone ever replaced their wheel bearings? How many miles until I should think about them? I had a Ducati and the rear bearings went out at about 15,000 miles and ruined a swing arm.... Just curious. Thanks!

I just changed my full set of bearings at 40,000 km. One thing you might want to take note, the stock bearing that you purchase comes with cover for the ball bearings. But they are not greased, so before you install them into the rims, make sure to grease them nicely. ensures an even better ride!

I over tightened my rear axle and messed up one of my wheel bearings in the back. Sometimes the mileage isn't the only factor in needing to replace the bearings. Just some food for thought.
