Finished work early and decided to hop on the supermoto, anyways decide to ride up to big bear mountain and as soon as I reach the summit my rear wheel bearing blows out. I start getting a real bad shimmy and pull over, well the sprocket side rear bearing is shot. I decide immediately to ride it back down and back home as I had to be at school to pick my son up so I had no other choice! To put it bluntly it was butt puckering going down the mountain then on the freeway riding with the bike leaned over so all the weight was on the one good bearing. If I straightened it at all you'd hear the hub hitting the axle. But I made it home and two new bearings are on order! They are Ktm 17's so it's just generic 6005 bearings
Haha thanks, what was scary was the back roads were completely closed for construction and I didn't want to ride off-road with one bearing so I was forced on the freeway, the whole time I had the bike leaned as far over like I was making a sharp left but sitting on the side panel. If I kept it perfect I wouldn't hear any axle hiring hub noise while it rode on the one good one!
