Have any of you (especially the higher mileage riders) ever had to replace any of the bearings in the swingarm components based on excessive wear? I have 85,000 miles on my 2014 and so far, I've the only bearing I've had go bad was a rear wheel bearing. I don't have any symptoms of a problem, but I was just curious if anyone here has had a swingarm bearing fail, and at what mileage?
I've attached a diagram, so you can reference which bearing failed.
Also, if you did replace a bearing, did you also replace the bushing? Are bushings like the races on a headset bearing, and should be replaced as a set?
