Expertly demonstrated as per usual. Thank you Sir and cheers from the USA.

Fully comprehensive as usual, thank you.

Nice to see the options

Nice straight forward video. Again, a nice job.

Very straight forward, easy maintenance.

Legend. Love your channel. Need do same on front wheel. Thanks kev ❤👍💪

Cheers mate! Another excellent video - keep up the good work!

Another good video. Yes when I used to remove bearings used a slightly smaller axle. Then catch the edge of the bearing and tap it out. But whichever way all good. 🙂

#12%gang loving the vfr800 videos (not limited to just vfr viewing though).

Thanks from Madrid ✌

15mins if everything goes perfectly. Mine have just took 3 hours of various hammers, and pointy tools, after an hour I went and bought a new blowtorch. 5 goes with heat and more hitting and eventually it gave in and came loose.

Another great video mate....and yes the analytics baffles me on my channel too 🤔😂

Great video as usual. Just one thing, it looks like you used normal mineral oil based grease on the seals. I believe you should use red rubber or silicon grease with rubber seals as otherwise mineral oil based greases can break down the rubber over time.

Whilst in general I agree entirely with your comments regarding rubber components and red rubber grease, in this instance I used the grease that is specified in the factory service manual which states a multi-purpose grease is to be used. Silicone based greases are specified through the use of a different symbol in the manual.

Brilliant video and very informative. I've just bought a VFR800 and noticed a dry sound coming up from the front. It sounds a little like something is rubbing, but I've checked and there doesn't appear to be. It is louder on some road surfaces than others, and is noticeable at speeds as low as 20/30 mph. Thought I noticed an occasional clicking sound as well. Seems to me like it could be a wheel bearing problem, but wondered if you know whether this might be the case?

Good one.. links to decent torque wrench please if you know of any.thanks

Another clearly demonstrated video that will hugely help those that need it. Not something I don't already know, but I enjoy watching your vids. On a side note, how's the lad getting on with his scooter?

Thanks man, not too well at the moment, he has had a couple of goes on it on the drive but we have been unable to get him booked in for a CBT as yet! Hopefully soon though.

Thanks for this video Kev ! Already done last year on mine, pretty easy as you demonstrated here. Do you think to show the same for the rear wheel ? a little more complex...

@KevsShed

It is a very similar setup in as much as there are 2 bearings in the rear wheel however it employs needle style bearings, plus there is an additional bearing in the sprocket carrier. There will be a video on this in due course however, thanks for your support 👍

One of these days I will invest in a bearing kit for removing and installing.

The one that I listed in the description is very cheap and is probably more than adequate for a hobbyists garage. naturally a professional that pops out several bearings a day will most likely require something a bit more substantial.

I agree BT023 are perfect on the vfr, not sure if the T31 evo would be much better or not. do you get the vfr wheels balanced front and rear?

So ime on 32000 at the moment, she seems to be handling ok, been looked after also booking her in for a valve clearance inspection, ( to much for my abilities) so should I have them done as a matter of course or is their a way of testing them to see if they’re ok, I don’t hear any noises & theirs no rattle or shake?

@@terrymurphy2850 Yeah, if there was a problem with the bearings you would find that there is lateral play in the wheel when you spin it. Also there would likely be a bit of excessive noise. If you aren't experiencing either of those then they are most likely fine.
