The one bearing just popped in using my fingers, so im guessing that the whole lot (bearing) is going to spin. So being like a loose fit it will probably smash the hub when it go’s.

So a new hub should do it

Thanks

Boze it wont smash the hub just gets more and more movement over time

Yeah you got problem Boze you can centre pop the hub and loctite it but it won’t hold I have tried that before and long term it isn’t a fix IMO I mean it came loose before with a full surface area didnt, again just my thoughts. I have stripped the wheels before and had the worn bearing area in the hub machined out and a steel sleeve inserted to restore the bearing seat area to the original size. The positive is the steel area that the bearing will now sit in wont wear like the soft alloy hub. The other option is a new hub, start soaking the spoke nipples in WD or the likes now

If you need a hub laced sing out, maybe you could source the hub from Suttos and send the wheel down I can pick the hub up, lace it and sent it back. Just a thought (I like building wheels :whistle: )

I just watched that and thats special for sure. I wonder if its a loose fit tyre or the rims have been machined down a few millimetres like the old days, Mal 5.1 may have some ideas he has more experience then me now days.

Great effort either way

As promised although delayed as I have been busy :whistle:

First cut the tail off under the number plate light, and turn the number plate around so the light shines up

Then remount your number plate

Underside view, nothing in there to hurt when you drill etc

I also fit the Yamaha LED blinker kit as the standard blinkers break the storks without crashing if you ride the bike off road at pace it seems with the amount I have seen broken when the punter hasn’t crashed. The LEDs are also brighter for safety

Hope that helps Sneaky

Plus – I dont reckon Honda would step that far out of the norm, the big four wont do that it will take a small euro to do it I reckon :huh:

When using the Pro Tune setting on my 3 black the computer struggled with it. Its easy to set in in your clips and even adjust it

Jacko tried /had 3 of them over I think 6 months, they keep failing and he ended up getting a refund.

The updates wont be a problem, tracks and roads dont really change much if you think about it. The problem with them is you cant load tracks or routes on it

TB

[GregMember]

Cool stuff Gaz, we have been doing some riding out your way since June actually some good riding out there. If you want to go a little further I can hook you up between Wellington and Orange, Wellington and Mudgee.

Thanks for the ride report
