Byron came by this afternoon to put some new PR2s on for me and when I pulled the rear, the drive side (hub) bearings were missing a few parts. Missing was the bearing cover and part of the bearing hold. :22yikes:
Since I had a set of bearings on hand (which I recommend to all) we replaced them and then I cleaned out the final drive side and found all the missing parts!
The one thing that I am really glad about is that Byron and I put those tires on 7K miles ago (they were used ones that already had 4K on the rear and 6K on the front). If I would have put my new PR2s (that we put on today) back then, I would still have another 4K before replacing them, meaning that bearing would have been really toasted! 4:
Time to order more bearings!
And for those of you wondering, my bike has 56,760 miles on it.
