    Rear Bearing failure / Damaged swingarm

    Good to know! Thanks for the suggestions. Also, can one of you take a look at the pictures of my rear wheel and let me know whether the inner spacer on the rotor side looks the same as the inner spacer on the belt side, or whether there are differences. I am trying to determine whether the...

    Rear Bearing failure / Damaged swingarm

    Swingarm is out (shockingly easy!) I am slightly confused as to what the weird pinch bolt construction is i.e. what kind of an odd nut is at the bottom of the pinch bolt Bearings are out of the rim. I think the side of the rim where the wheel bearing failed is shot. As far as I can tell this...

    Rear Bearing failure / Damaged swingarm

    Yeah as much as I love making stuff, machining that spacer would probably take me twice as much time as taking the swingarm out and putting a new one back in. And that makes sense that the wheel would move over to the left. Turns out I just bought a swingarm on eBay for 65 dollars... hard to...

    Rear Bearing failure / Damaged swingarm

    Thanks for the reply! I wonder for how long the bearing has been bad. Not too long ago (somewhere around 3k miles) I changed the rear tire and the bearing felt fine, but I noticed today that around the bearing area on the wheel / brake rotor there are definitely rust stains ... so I am sure it...

    Rear Bearing failure / Damaged swingarm

    Hey everyone, I have been riding 2006 Buell XB9SX for about 4 years now and rarely ever had any issues with the bike, today however, things were different. I noticed an odd vibration while riding today, since it did not go away I decided to pull over and check the bike. I originally expected...
