[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1423135, member: 19880"] Just as a reality check, verify the parts and assembly vs the following parts fiche as well as the FSM. [URL="https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/2017/fjr1300es-fjr13eshb-2017/front-wheel"]https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/motorcycle/2017/fjr1300es-fjr13eshb-2017/front-wheel[/URL] Edit: You cannot necessarily assume that whoever changed the front tire did so correctly and there is always a possibility that the replacement bearing(s) were not seated properly. With the calipers off, does the wheel generally spin freely (before the bearings were scrambled)? I suppose that there is a possibility of an initial flaw in the wheel casting or machining. On my '07 FJR, I changed front wheel bearings once (at around 160,000 miles or so). Failure at low miles is rare. [/QUOTE]
