Should I repack my triple clamps and swing arm bearings?
My ST1300 has 44,500 miles now and I?m considering taking the triple clamps and swing arm apart to repack the bearings with marine bearing grease. It was suggested to me that if they?re not broke, don?t mess with them since they?re sealed. A mechanic at WeSTOC told me they should be repacked every 24,000 miles. Hmmm, a conundrum.
What's your opinion and experience repacking these bearings?
