Default Rear wheel bearing thread?

I finally found the cause of the under the seat vibration I reported in other posts. Today I noticed an unfamiliar space between the rear right wheel spacer and the hub. I wanted a good thread to use as a guide to replacing the bearing, does anyone know of any? the search I performed did not produce any that I could see.

Thanks for the anticipated help.

Hey Pinetop, not sure if yours is the same as mine, but, that's a pretty straight forward thing to do on my bike.

The biggest problem I had was not keeping the spacers in order when I pulled the axle.

I had to take the wheel to my indy because I didn't have the puller for the race.

Hmm, I haven't seen a "thread" but, I bet if you ask, someone here could give you step by step instructions.

Default do I need to replace the spacers also?

I have seals on hand but will have to order the bearings or pick them up at the bolt and bearing dealer here. I could not determine from the manual the length of the spacers. Do I need to go to the dealership to get that info?
