| Well Sturgis has come and gone....what a great ride. However 150 miles out of sturgis my rear wheel developed one hell of a wobble. So much that I had to slow down almost to a crawl. Pulled into Sturgis around midnight and retired for the night. Next morning it was worse...so I limped into a tire replacement shop. They figured that it could be a belt that had let go in the tire. Turns out that my rear right wheel bearing had disintegrated. Wow am I ever lucky this didn't kill me. The vision only had 7000miles on it when this happened. Has anyone ever heard of this happening, should I go to my local Victory dealer and let them know, ask for some sort of compensation? IE cost of bearing? Bike is a 2010 VV 8Ball
Any input would be great. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Never heard of that. I replaced mine at about 10,000 miles because I had the wheels powdercoated. Got 21,000 miles on the new replacement wheel bearings no problems. Varyder might be able to answer, he has over 140,000 miles on his vision. |

| you know Vic buys there bearing from some supplier and they hope they get good one. My 09 street glide with a thousand miles on it had the tranie main shaft bearing go out.
If you ever need bearings go to a bearing store you can get better bearings for less money. O you can pick up a belt tool there to |
