Cars and motorcycles that undergo vehicle inspections have an opportunity to have their inspections and maintenance done at that time to find any problems.

Motorcycles have fewer opportunities for such inspections, so invisible problems tend to be overlooked.

This time, it was time for a tire change, so I took the opportunity to inspect the wheel bearings.

First, there was damage to the oil seal lip, and a brownish, rust-like substance was attached to the surrounding area.

When the wheel was lifted and spun freely, a rattling sound could be heard.

This will cause problems with fuel efficiency and handling stability. It was a problem that couldn't be ignored, so I decided to have it repaired.

While the bearings and other parts are not genuine parts, bearings and oil seals in this area are often standard parts and can be obtained from local machine parts stores. Of course, it's necessary to have a thorough understanding of the size and specifications related to the bearing's function.

If you lack knowledge about machine parts and standards, ordering genuine parts is probably the safest option.
