stock tires for sale...

[Matthew]

Hey all, I was changing my tires last night (Perelli scorpions) and realized my bearings felt kinda funny. rear left is almost loose enough to spin,, the other feels good. Both front ones are almost to hard to turn by hand. These are sealed so no repacking right? Should I just replce em? bikes got 16k. And for that guy with the bad main bearing, If anyone has sizes/sources for engine parts, please share. Thats the only gray area of the KLR. Thanks, Matthew A14 Adding a horn off a honda accord is a great mode.

The original wheel bearings are sealed only on the outside. When I checked my for the first time, there wasn't much grease from the factory. I repacked mine each time I changed tires. If you've run 16k on only the typical pitiful amount of factory grease, you probably need to upgrade to total sealed bearings.

Removing them kinda damages them. You're better-off just getting double-sealed replacements from a local bearing shop. They're only like $4.00-6.00 each. Just make sure they're not Chinese. Mark http://www.reelrider.com At 6:51 PM +0000 5/21/04, Matthew wrote:

I never liked the idea of re-using wheel bearings once removed. They're pretty inexpensive parts and fairly easily damaged in removal, so I just replace them. That said, I have a needle fitting for my grease gun that is supposedly able to shoot grease through the rubber seals of a bearing. Anybody ever done that? Randy

It's customary to replace bearings when they're questionable- tapping them out usually damages them. Ride them until they get loose or "chunky" feeling, then just replace them with double-sealed bearings Bearings are cheap, I usually buy mine from johnson-bearing.com. Get anything but the Chinese makes, or ge the Chinese ones and get a few extra. Sizes are in the FAQ somewhere. Devon matthewt316@... wrote:
