Memories are forever!!!   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 08:18 pm:        quote: With those crap wheel bearings, I wouldn't take a chance having the bike sloshing in the water and ruining them. Thats funny, many ATVs use the same exact bearings.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 08:38 pm:        i'd be more concerned about making sure the exhaust was empty before firing it back up...   Jdugger Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 08:41 pm:        > With those crap wheel bearings, Honestly, I think the issue with the wheel bearings is as much the tension the belt drive puts on them as the bearings themselves.   Rob_l Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 08:06 am:        Caption that: It must be Saturday night bath time.   Oldog Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 09:56 am:        splish - splash   No_rice Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 11:19 am:        from what i see those bearings have a ways before they are in any water.... looks like your out for a ride with me barker lol. i do things of this nature fairly regularly and have yet to EVER replace a set of buell wheel bearings on any of my buells. you guys worry to much. ride the hell out of it. if it needs replacing, fix it.   No_rice Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 11:20 am:        you know... we could do some dual sport duty with the 1125's at btf... just an idea...   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 11:26 am:        Hell yea, I'll have to bring my CR then, I was gonna try and bring a RS though.   Rogue_biker Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 11:28 am:        i do things of this nature fairly regularly and have yet to EVER replace a set of buell wheel bearings on any of my buells. Amazingly yours doesn't have the belt guards either. So how's the belt life holding up   No_rice Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 12:16 pm:        I was gonna try and bring a RS though. as in a tube frame rs? Amazingly yours doesn't have the belt guards either. So how's the belt life holding up. just fine. 13000 miles on it and no signs of problems. only 3000 on the cr but it spent alot of time bombing the sand roads and such in florida when i was down there for a few months and its in fine shape too. none of my buells have belt guards. the only one that breaks them is my green 9 and im pretty sure that has to do with the n2o shot and not the lack of belt guards.   Blake Posted on Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - 01:37 pm:        >>> you guys worry to much. ride the hell out of it. if it needs replacing, fix it. Truth! Conversely though, hand-wringers and naysayers unit, don't ride, just whine and complain on an internet forum about what might go wrong. It's life, better to be safe and avoid it as much as possible.
