Wheel bearings
Anyone have any insight on how often to pack the wheel bearings? I've got just over 20K on the clock of the 08 and been thinking about doing it when I change the tires next time.
Thanks in advance.

The sensation was that the rear of the bike felt loose. Though I could feel it at highway speeds, it was more noticeable at the lower speeds.
Thankfully, the dealer replaced them under warranty.

I'm at 42000 miles on my stock wheel bearings, I think I'll replace them at my next tire change.
How long are they supposed to last?
Is the dealer the only place to get them, or can you get them at a bearing dealer?

My rear one went out at 41K. Bought a new take off rim from local dealer for cheap. Lots of dealers and bike shops have new take offs from people getting custom rims. Get new rim and bearings all in one.
