Wheel bearing average longevity

what happened

what happened when they went out?

My wife's rear bearings went out at 32,000 miles. It really wasn't a fun experience.....................

what happened when they went out?

She was running about 80 mph. The bike went into limp mode because the speed sensor got chewed up. She handled it like a pro and AAA did the rest.

The bright side, if there is one, is my dealer replaced everything under the RPM extended warranty.

This is from my experience with the RS 148K miles: 20K for the seals+bearings, 40K for the hub. :doorag:

I had 23,000 on my originals when my spyder was totalled. I had them checked right at a little over 15,000 when my rear tire was changed. All was well.

Long wait for the 13's. But something tells me it will have been worth the wait. :thumbup:

Sounds like the perfect addition to a Limited. :thumbup:

I was able to change tire and balance by just removing pulley. I've attached pictures of my tire machine and balancer.

So you left the center hub piece bolted on?

Yes I did, was this incorrect?

No, I just needed to know for something I'm doing. This was the answer I was hoping for! :thumbup:
