Thank you John! Great tip! 🤙

You need to use a 40oz hammer. Makes the driving much more stable to where the hammer head won't bounce off the bearing tool. This will give you less and more effective hits. You don't need to remove the dust seal as it will come out with the bearing. You will be replacing this seal anyway so don't worry about it. Since these bearings are "sealed" bearings, the bearing housing of the wheel wil not experience any wear unless the bearing locked up while riding. Any wear of the bearing is totally internal to the bearing. These are not like car or truck bearings where the bearing and race are installed separately. FYI, you don't have to buy Honda OEM bearings. As long as you know the size, you can buy them anywhere. My 1997 Honda Valkyrie (that I bought new and do all of my own work) is still doing fine after 120kMiles. I wouldn't think twice about taking a 4000 mile trip (I'm 70 and getting tired).

Hi Alex. This is Andre again. Just wanted to say thanks for your advice about the computer reset and tire pressure. You were absolutely right. Once I reset the pressure, the traction control light disappeared, and the reset was flawless. I didn't know. I picked up a nail in my brand nwe $500,00 rear tire with a slow leak. I'm going to have a stroke. But the point is you were absolutely right. Thanks again so much for your help. I would never think of that .

Hi Andre, I'm very happy to hear that brother! Thankfully it wasn't anything serious, I'm sorry to hear about the nail.... Thank you for the update Andre! 👌

FYI, I had a front wheel bearing go out on my '97 Valkyrie. I was riding down the road at about 55mph and heard/felt some crunching. It didn't affect handling or anything. I slowed down to about 20mph and listened closely and the noise was coming from the front wheel. I drove home about another 5 miles and parked it. When I had time I took the wheel off and checked the bearings and yep, the bearing was faulty. So if this happened again, I wouldn't worry about it, just slow down to a crawl and don't do any quick manuvers. Worst that can happen is the wheel lock up and you flop on the ground. Wouldn't be the first time. lol

Hi Alex, excellent video as always. You are definitely a great technician. I would like to ask your advice about something. I got 14,500 miles in my Rebel 1100cc DCT And I got a big problem. After shutting off my bike normally ending my last trip I didn't noticed anything. Next time I tried to go for a ride,I noticed my traction control light was on, and it was hard to push the bike out of the garage. It does not want to go off anymore. It rides very rough, and re setting the computer the way you did it didn't work. Would you please let me know what you think about this problem? I really appreciate you advice in the mean time.

Comparing a bearing with 24k vs 30k is not a fair comparison. Which one rode in more salt, water, sand, dust, etc? I have had a front wheel bearing internally distruct in less than 15kMiles due to salt.

In this situation, both riders live in the same area and ride year round, the only difference being that the one with 30K had ridden cross country. Salt is what got my anxiety to flare up... rode 2 winter seasons on those bearings...

Bonjour Ange, gardez à l'esprit que cela fait 40 000 km. J'ai vu d'autres motos dont la chaîne, les pignons et les roulements devaient être changés beaucoup plus tôt. Toutes les motos présentent des éléments d’usure, c’est tout à fait normal. toutes les motos ont un problème, c'est normal, ne soyez pas surpris. Tout choix de moto sera un compromis et nécessitera un compromis. Tous ces éléments ne sont pas considérés comme des défauts, mais simplement des éléments d’usure, et chaque véhicule en est équipé. En fin de compte, c'est votre argent durement gagné et vous savez ce qui est le mieux pour vous, Triumph, BMW, KTM, Royal Enfiled... ont tous des problèmes, continuez simplement à faire autant de recherches que possible avant de prendre une décision. décision éclairée sur une moto que vous allez adorer. Enfin, demandez-vous combien de kilomètres vous pensez parcourir par an afin de savoir quelle sera pour vous l’expérience de propriété. ferez-vous 2 000 km par an, ou ferez-vous 10 000 km par an ? Cela vous aidera dans votre décision. Pour être juste et honnête, il sera difficile de trouver une moto aussi facile que la Rebel 1100 à entretenir et à posséder, dans cette classe, à ce prix et à cette valeur.

I wish you would invest in Pit Bull stands. There made for your Motorcycle.

If the bearings run smooth, why replace them? Every time I change tires, I feel how the bearings run and as they run smooth, I don't bother them. Beating on them cannot help.

Bearings fail, I ride year round and on salt covered roads in the winter, i don't have Xray vision, my next tire change is at least 15,000 miles, i already have 24,000 miles on them, i will always choose to replace a safety item on a motorcycle when it still has life in it.... I will not wait for such a failure to occur before replacing such a critical item. my humble opinion. I believe you mentioned that you had a bearing fail at 15k miles, i would rather change mine every 15k miles rather than ride 39k miles on mine.

@@ontherebel11 I read through my comments and I don't see 15k. The failure on my Valkyrie had to be over 50k. I have only had one bearing failure on all of my bikes over 50 years and that was on the heaviest (Valkyrie). I too used to ride in all kinds of weather and salt in Wisconsin. Now I live in AZ and ride in sand 2 miles a day just to get to pavement. Still no problems. IMO, sand and fine dust is worse on machinery than salt. In the winter, in the North, about all you get is salt dust after the roads are cleared and that is only for a few months. In the desert, sand and dust are there every day, 365. That is the main reason I bought the Valkyrie, water cooled and shaft drive. Zero chain maintenance and dust seal replacement every few years.

If you enjoy doing the work yourself the cost of doing this is negligible. And if you feel better having replaced the bearings that adds value to your work. Anxiety reduces the pleasure of riding.
