[QUOTE="BumbleDB, post: 376859, member: 2066"] If this was a true rotation bearing, then I MIGHT worrry about it. But, it's just a limited movement, so a repack should be good. The needle bearings are not loose, and whatever came out was not a cage of any type. It did not maintain any space between the bearings, they were touching on all sides and surfaces. I might believe that it was some kind of special waterproof stuff that got old, but the yammi shop manual shows to use regular lithium grease on 'em. My fz1 has pretty much an identical setup, and those were repacked the same way over a year ago. No failure yet.... Disclaimer: What the hell do I know? I would be interested to see the Radman explanation. But, if for some odd reason they should fail, worst case my ass end goes stiff. Shouldn't kill me......... Hard tail, baby! [/QUOTE]
