9276A is shown in the 2012 new parts reference. That means that the 11's do not have them. Only the 12's do

 

Thanks Dawg.......that's what I was afraid you would say!

 

thanx for the info dawg, getting close to putting a new set of tires on my 10sg/26000miles/ABS and was planning on replacing the bearings after reading all the posts regarding bearings. Figure if I'm getting this much mileage out of this new tire I won't be pulling the wheels again till 50K so I'd rather be safe than sorry.

 

I agree. Dawg is the Man!

 

my 08 classic has 49k still on the same set. my new 2012 Ultra comes in on the 21 of next month. ill keep an eye out... TKS for the info

 

FWIW, the 9252 ABS bearings haven't superseded, only the 9276 non ABS bearings. I would assume that most bearing failures are the non ABS ones.

 

yep, dawg your right as usual, haha. how do u know so much about these bikes?. my left bearing is the abs one and it seemed to be fine but changed it anyway when my right bearing went out. Just seems to be mostly abs bikes having this problem. I am just going by personal experience and reading problems from others. I just hope everybody checks them before 10,000 miles just to be safe. i know i checked mine at the 10,000 mile service and they seemed to be fine and at 12,000 miles KLUNKKK, right front bearing quit on me.

 

My left front is puking grease with less than 2k miles on the clock

 

Front bearings replaced at 50K, again at 82K. Rear bearings went out at 80K. I have a 2009 Ultra. Never power washed. The new ABS bearings did not have an "A" modification (tighter seals), but HD infered that there would be one soon.

 

The only bearing you can actually check is the front right one. When I went to insepct mine...it was the only one with the side exposed.

So far so good on mine.

Is there a source for a top notch replacement? Who makes the best bearing in the world?
