So after 99700km my Dakar let me down for the first time :'(
Had to catch a lift back home from work last night - got to the bike and when I pushed to bike out of the parking spot to get going felt something wrong.
Back on the centre stand - thought the rear brake was binding. Pushed the pads away from the disk but still the wheel was very stiff to turn so figured it must be a bearing.
Luckily I had a spare rear wheel and sprocket carrier - so came back took the rear wheel of and I found the one bearing in the carrier had collapsed.
So switched the sprocket to my spare carrier and all is well again.
But after 100 000km I think its time I replace all the wheel bearings.
So do anyone have the bearing sizes and numbers for the Dakar/F650GS?
If I'm not mistaken its
2 bearings front wheel
2 bearings rear wheel
2 bearings sprocket carrier
