| Frame shock mount : This has happened several times so it is an area you want to pay attention to for periodic inspections. Inspect from underneath bike between rear wheel and engine. |

| Rear Wheel Hub: Pay attention to a faint
popping or clicking noise when rolling bike with engine dead. Most will notice it when backing bike out of their garage or storage building a faint popping or thud. These failures are occurring on low and high mileage wheels. Although this is just one possible cause, it is very easy to check for when replacing a rear tire. Notice the ridge formed inside the drive side of the hub, this is where one of the 4 wheel bearings rides in the hub. In the picture to the right you'll notice the bearing that is visible, it has also wallared out the hub as well. What to check for: A pop, click, faint thud when rolling on bike with engine dead as in rolling to a stop or backing the bike out of garage or storage shed, a wheel bearing that falls out when removing rear wheel. |
