    I completely agree with the sentiment that a used bike is an unknown quantity. I got a used 2014 Tiger where the previous owner told me he dropped it in a river and parked it for multiple years. So I am going all the way down just like you are doing. I’ve never done them before, but thanks to your videos I feel comfortable doing them. And I am having a BLAST doing it. I never thought I could have this much fun working on a bike.

      Too right my friend, on so many occasions we hear people suffer a bearing collapse, but there were no tell tale symptoms, I'm honestly surprised that wheel bearings are not a long term service item that should be replaced on a periodic basis... 5yrs would be fine for a daily used bike, but even if they advised it every 10yrs, it would still be good advice, just on spec, because look what you can find when you yank them out!

    I've never done much more to a bike than lube and adjust the chain, but watching your detailed videos is encouraging me to do a full check/rebuild of my 03 busa! Will binge watch all your busa vids, create a massive buy list and go wild. Might even record so others can laugh at me online! Thanks a lot for your vids!!

    Learn so much from these videos. It's almost a zen like experience seeing you demonstrate to us how all those hidden jobs that seem impossibly hairy, can be done. I'm finally starting to learn that proper maintenance is slightly more than stripping the fairings off and giving everything a good clean. I particularly appreciate the pride and care you take, making best of everything at your disposal. Your channel is almost as good as having you live next door - only difference is that I'm not leant by your garage door offering cups of tea and asking lots of questions! Good stuff

    Gotta say that this is a great learning project for us that don't do this on a regular basis. Doing all of those bearings just makes sense when you don't know how it was taken care of in the past. Judging by the shape of that one, you made the correct call. I love the design part of these builds, but will never do that. This keeps me interested in the projects

    Great video Del. You change your bearings because you are conscientious. It's your bike and you do not have to defend silly comments or questions. Who could ever argue against changing them if you don't know the bikes history. It is always safer to change them Vs not changing them. Great work Del.

      You are absolutely right my friend, but you know ho it is with the trolling peanut gallery, you'd hand them a cure for the common cold and they'd say it's dangerous... we don't focus on the negatives, they'll always be there, but with the bearing in that state, this time it was worth a mention and to show the answer to their stupid question, rather than say it. Thanks for your support mate!

    As always, most informative video for us old guys lol. But seriously, thank you for taking the time to do this one, really. I was going to get my rims powder coated (my treat for birthday), but when I took the wheels off and brought them to a friends place, he said it would be too much to do (no tools). So I though that was it, but decided after two weeks to do it. So I had the bearings popped out (not as good as your way, will have to invest in a pully) and my rims are getting powder coated a flat gold. Bearings ( seals/bearings on order) should be here in a week or so. Then I can start putting the bearings back in, going to try your idea of putting them in, I do believe you can teach an old dog new tricks.

  • @marcusFZ6
    @marcusFZ6 5 років тому

    Little tip and one that I use at work is stick your bearings in the freezer over night. This will reduce the size by a "smidge" and will help to fit the new bearing.
    I got lots of applications like this where the outer race is the Transition fit and the inner race is top end clearance so that the shaft effectively slides through.
    Doesn't all work but sometimes it's just the ticket.
    Great work and well played changing those brgs - well buggered.
    People forget that if something goes wrong on a bike, not going to end nicely - peace of mind is everything.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  5 років тому +1

      Hi Marcus, Yes, there is no denying that the good old "Freezer Ploy" is a well tried and tested method... but personally i have always questioned the practice of effectively "freezing" hardened steel parts, and then forcing them into a warm or heated metal hub....the sudden instant change in temperature must cause a heat shock?, that can't be good for the steel and must have some effect on it like quenching hot metal.?? no?.. maybe not, and maybe im paranoid.. but as they press in so easy like this, im happy working at room temp for now... thanks again for your input buddy, have a good week... Del.

      The threaded bar press I made myself with some strong thick steel discs and some washers, you can also use appropriately sized sockets, as you saw.
      Previously I tapped them in, which is still perfectly ok as a method, I just like to show different ways to do things that may help people in a pinch who have absolutely no tools, except the basic hand tools...

    My bike has chain adjusters similar to this one. I wonder if there's a way to remove and install the rear wheel without changing the chain tension? Setting the tension every time is painful. Can you put the axle back through without touching the chain adjusters?

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  5 років тому +1

      Yes you can buddy, but its a real struggle as the axle will be loaded due to the pull of the 'tensioned' chain, by all means try it, but i can't imagine it'd be easy...and to be honest, you should really check your alignment every tome you remove a wheel and refit it aye.!!

    Fitting new bearings is always worth doing. My mate (at the time) his front wheel bearings went on his FJ1200, could hear the grinding, and didn't feel right. Gets home strips the from wheel, and the bearing literally fell out! Never seen anything like it my self. I am in the process of renewing the wheel bearings in my xjr1300, it's 18 years old. No idea the state they could be in, but always good to change them while it's in for annual maintenance.

    Spot on with the bearing replacement. A friend and I went out for a ride and while on the way back he felt his rear wheel start to wiggle, sort of like he had a flat tire. Long story short, the bearing disintegrated on him, we had to call for a tow truck as we were almost 100 miles from home. Bearings can be found from many places and can be less expensive than OEM suppliers. If you know how to decipher the bearing code you can easily find quality replacements. Nachi, SKF, Koyo, etc.

    @americanotakuinc.9637 5 років тому

    Too right, Del! I used to work in a few shops and anytime I had to do tires the first thing I’d do is take the axle over to the bench grinder that was fitted with a wire wheel and zip all that old crud off of it. Then I’d lather it up with marine grade waterproof grease. One shop I was hanging out in the mechanic was trying to hammer out a rear axle on a Harley sportster. The last guy didn’t put ANY grease on it when he installed it so the thing heated up and welded itself to the bearings at some point and nearly killed the rider. He got the thing out with a point end pry bar and a 5 pound hand sledgehammer. But when he finally got the thing out he wound up splitting the axle. No lie! Plus the bike almost tilted off the lift because of it. And you those Harley axles are case hardened grade 5 or 8 steel.

    • @Moonfleet41
      @Moonfleet41  5 років тому

      Blimey, sounds like a bad day in the shop, I think we've all been there at one point or another, and am not saying it too loudly, but I've still yet to get the swingarm axle out of this Hayabusa, and I doubt it's ever been out... but at least we can usually rely on the factory to have assembled it right, so we shall see!... I've always said that the sign of a good mechanic is not the fancy row of certificates on the wall, it's their ability to get round problems to adapt, improvise and overcome things without simply throwing stuff away and charging the customer for a new one... even more motivation when it's your own bike and your own money!

    'might help those of you with old bikes'... Mine's less than four years old and looks about the same after year-round use and 55K miles! Even with regular maintainence, I think if you've a high mileage, daily rider then you're going to end up with a certain amount of 'patina' around the bike!
    I had a carrier bearing blow on mine a few years back and that was OEM on 20-something thousand miles. Just a messy paste left behind when I pulled it all apart.

    Spot on about replacing the bearings. I'm doing up a 92 Divi for the Mrs. It is being done to a budget, things like odd levers can stay, but every safety critical part is being replaced regardless of what it looks like. I don't know if they are quality bearings or some cheaper than cheap rubbish ones. I'm dead lucky as I live a 5 minute ride from wemoto, and the boys and girls there are top notch.

    I had the real wheel bearing explode on my Fat Bob a couple of years back. The bike was only 5 years old with 8000 miles on the clock. I was going down my local By-pass at the time, and had just slowed down from 70+ mph. I was just exiting off one of the roundabouts doing around 40mph. When without any prior warnings or odd feel, the back end just seemed to collapse. At 1st I thought it was a blowout. Fortunately I was only just over a mile from home and was able to limp home at around10mph. Which in turn sort of welded the remains of the bearing to the wheel. What a hassle it was to remove, fortunately the damage to the hub was repairable. All in all, a scary experience!!

Scared me to death, I go with the one and only tactic now which is to change them and seals every time i fit a new tyre, which for me is yearly whether they need it or not.
