A naked Bandit 1200 is super rare, right? (*^-^*)
We’ve got an inspection and wheel bearing replacement on the agenda!
We’ll protect the wheel, remove it, and get to work.
I use double-sealed, non-contact wheel bearings.
I’ll measure the distance collar and mark it with P-TOUCH. (^_-)-☆
I’ll check how well the oil seal is working. The rear right seal looks good as is.
The left hub oil seal is working great, so if we let it break in properly from the start, we won’t get collar wear like this.
We’ve rubbed it down to make it smooth like this. Since it’s not going off-road and the bearings have double seals, you’re all set! (*’▽’)
Wheel bearings—the front had plenty of oil. The rear was pretty dry, though…
The rear sprocket has some uneven wear, but overall it’s worn down pretty evenly.
I’ve polished and cleaned up the chain guide too.
Wheel Bearing Checker Number One—with this we can quickly check how the bearings are running! (*´ω｀*)
We’ll check the front with Checker Number One too. You can feel the rotation by hand, and it feels really good!
If the caliper were off, it would just keep spinning forever… probably.
A typical Suzuki thing… the swingarm precision is…
And we’re done with the inspection! (‘ω’)ノ
