Check your bearings .

[White Noise]

Routine maintenance uncovered this little fella . Can you see him . This shell or bearing must of popped out of the housing . Only the slightest play in he flywheel . Ah well glad I regularly maintain and inspect my gear . Seem to recall a guy off here who had greaseable bearings fitted ? . I,m off to find the other posts on this matter now . If only Mr Lofthouse lived next door we can but dream .

Dont know the setting you after,but there should be a rubber thimble cap in the bearing recess,doesnt look like yours has had one there for a while,I think its meant to keep the crap out,but can get dislodged.

Well no return now . Not many bearings left in there . Never had a rubber cover for that area Geoff but thanks for telling me

Erm, new `bearings now methinks!

Yes the rubber cap looks a bit like a small version of a landy dust cover on the hubs,its a male push fit into the female bearing holder thingmybob recess if you know what I mean,Mines come near to falling out ,hence Im aware of it.

Good luck,youve a job on your hands there!

How many hours has your 125 done on that bearing?

If you need to borrow a chipper until yours is sorted then just give me a shout.

I baught two of the small plastic dust caps but i needed the bigger one, they were only about 60p each so no big problem.

 

You can have one if you want.
