pepehaha Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hello, I have noticed that when I giggle with he shee, Its shaking like 3mm in the place of the right axle bearing in the carrier. I hope you underestand what I mean :-) I guess my bearing is kinda fucked, I have already ordered new ones, but the question is, can I keep riding the shee until I replace them without any risk? Everythinks seems to work fine, except for the play in the bearing carrier on the right side. I have tightened all nuts, so thats not the problem. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I guess you COULD keep riding it. But you ain't gonna like the results when you're doing about 50 through a tight turn, and they lock up. And then you have to drag the bike back to your truck. Replace then before you ride it. You'll be much better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i tried getting 1 more ride outta my 2000. the sprocket hub ground the shit outta my carrier. so instead of bearings, it cost me a new carrier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I agree, don't chance it. My first set failed about 2 miles from the truck in the dunes, had to get towed back by a DS650 and it chewed the carrier pretty good. I would also suggest doing the grease zerk mod to the stock carrier if that's what you're using, just pry the inner seals off the two bearings, drill & tap the carrier for a zerk and you're good to go (I also drilled & tapped for a vent bolt but that's probably optional).

Michael Jackson Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) i tried getting 1 more ride outta my 2000. the sprocket hub ground the shit outta my carrier. so instead of bearings, it cost me a new carrier too. yep, ive done the same thing being a cheap bastard and destroyed my shit, you can buy the bearings from rocky mountain cheap, world wide bearings and seals, you dont need the whole pivot works kit everytime the bearings go bad, that gets expensive Edited November 10, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrojunky619 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 anyone have any pictures or directions on how to do the grease mod to the rear carrier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIM_Whiteboy4life Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Or dump a lil dough and get a round house or a double roller billet carrier like this one... dont worry about the cat on crack :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
