Front wheel bearing

Post by **viper** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:17 pm

I have a 1999 Voyager XII with about 85,000 miles or 135,000 KM and the wheel bearings front and back have never been changed to my knowledge. It seems to travel a bit from side to side but our roads in our area are somewhat left to be desired. I have 2 new E3 with 2-3000 Kms so I don't think that's the problem. If you guys feel that the bearings need to be changed, I will get it done in the very near future. If you have other advise you wish to share, free free to do so.

I thank you in advance for your responses and want to wish you some great riding.

Check steering head bearing . Should be torqued to 95 INCH/lb

So with the E3's it still wanders , I am curious if you had the bearings changed out or did you adjust the steering head torqued proper... What's the update.. this bike is fine under or at 60mph but over it wanders....

I got the E 3"s for mine and I reset the torque on the steering nut proper and my wandering bike is now like new..

Steering head bearings too tight, that causes it to wander, too loose, causes a wobble.
