On Friday night I took both wheels off my bike in order to change the tires and noticed that the bearing on the hub side of the rear wheel was misaligned, so instead of playing with it I took it to a Honda dealership to replace the bearings.
Turns out that three of the four bearings on the rear wheel were seized and two of them were fused to the spacer separating them...the only way the tech could remove them was by cutting them out, also the seal was shot.
About two weeks prior I noticed that at parking lot speed there was a dragging/grinding noise coming from the rear wheel and I thought it was just the brakes failing to release fully, thinking back I think this is around the time the bearings started to fail. That was the last time I rode it and it was for only a few miles.
Thankfully the fourth bearing never went and that I decided to change the tires before riding it 300 miles to where I'm working for the summer
