[QUOTE="Jenks, post: 1424530, member: 87532"] I had the same issue on my 2013 FJR but with only 40,000 km (~25,000 miles). Terrible clicking noise while riding had me thinking it was something caught up in the wheel, but found nothing. Replaced the bearings and one of them was not very smooth - replaced both and all is well. Only reason I could think of as to why the bearing failed so early was possibly my use of a pressure washer when cleaning the bike. Still use the cleaner, but avoid going anywhere near the axle 😀.
