Need some help please.
I replaced my rear wheel bearings on 2012 990R with bearings bought from KTM CT. That lasted 1 trip and the right side bearing broke. (Lots of damage to brake pads and disk)
Then went back to KTM and they replaced the complete bearing set with spacer and bush.
All went well for around 3000km and then the same happened this weekend. I have not taken the wheel off to see exactly what the damage are, but looks the same as previous time from outside inspection.
Anybody had the same experience or have a clue where else to start looking?
First photo shows the damage to the brakes, and second photo shows how how the wheel has moved toward the chain side, with the damping block now visible.
