"If it isn't broken, it can still be fixed"
Need a little help. I tried a search but still am confused.
I pulled my wheels for new tires. The rear bearings feel good. Front wheel bearings feel tight and inner races will not turn independently. I need to stick a finger tightly in each inner race to get them to turn and it feels like both inner races and spacer are turning as a unit. No real gritty feel just tight. No signs of axle spinning inside inner races of either wheel bearing. No rust, very little dirt.
Bike is a 2015 with 18,000 miles on it. I am a road rider and bike has not been in rain much at all. Seals look perfect, but I did not remove them. I was going to get my buddy at Yamaha to change my tires and am thinking now I may need front wheel bearings.
I already got part numbers from a post here.
Thoughts from the collective?
