hooches rear wheel bearing went out ...and i started to feel it in rear wheel braking coming off the interstate ....i was hoping so much it was wheel bearing and not the 1200 wheel i milled down to except car tire ....well on that part i was lucky ...pics
once wheel was off ..wheel parts were in a puddle inside the wheel
nice coat of regular grease on wheel with 10,000 plus miles on it since last off...
pulled the drive flange ....and the rest had to be done at power sports in st augustine fla ....the 1200 84 wheel i have was tight and needed a press and some rigging to get off ...the outer races on the bearing were both stuck big time ....well 80$ later and a week and a 1/2 i got my wheel back .....and installed
it was apparent that the bearing were under the same pressure ...one way ...all i can say for sure is that shaft drive one drawback is side pressure on wheel ...from its operation of climing the gear like they do to drive wheel ...im sure in almost all cases this is no problem on stock wings .....hooch has lots of power and can lift wheel off ground ...you can feel the side pressure in gear changes .....this is called chassy jacking ....
id say on 1200 wheels being bad ...from my observation is its the bearing that gose out first then the wheel gets damaged from the slop of still riding around with sloppy bearing ....so i was lucky and wheel was taken off before any damage to wheel was done :heat: :mrgreen:
