Well with all the wheel bearing failure threads I am really surprised there have not been more muffler bearings fail!

I was in the bearing and industrial power transmission industry for 40'years. The first joke ever played on me in my early days was for people to call me and ask if I sold "Muffler Bearings"!

 

 

Last time I was in one of those mega stores, their muffler bearings and left handed baseball bats were on clearance. I should have stocked up!

 

Don't forget to change your blinker fluid every two years also!!

 

Muffler bearings only go bad if the muffler belt isn't correctly aligned or has the incorrect tension.
Much worse is letting your blinker fluid cylinder go dry.

 

I finally found some, thank god, I was running low.......

 

They do not sell that here in Florida!

 

We need it in Arizona due to high heat and evaporation......

 

I just finished prepping my bike for a 2-1/2 week tour that I'm starting on Wednesday. My muffler bearings were fine. I switched all my blinkers out to LEDs so I don't need blinker fluid anymore.

 

So when are going to get around to discussing TIRE WEAR ?
