I have recently purchased a gio 125 rebel t2 quad (its isn't even a month old)

it is chewing though bearings, we have had it running for a total of 4 hrs and its eaten though 2 sets of bearing for the rear axle. does anyone know what i can do to fix this??


pleeease help

 

Did you put in Chinese made bearings? Take them out and put in Japanese made bearings.. There should be a number on the bearing to look up the size. Good luck

 

I'm trying to think why two sets of bearing would fail.

1) Dirt inside the swing arm bearing housing.
2) Dirt getting inside from the outside
3) Lack of lubrication
4) Over torqueing the bearings
5) Misalignment between ends

I assume that when the new bearings were put in that tested to see that the axle spun freely and smoothly?

You did pack the bearings with grease?

I wonder what clues might be in the fried bearings? Can you post pics of the bad bearings?

 

Wow, 2 sets of bearings in 4 hours! There is something that is causing those bearings to wear out that fast....and it is not where they were made. You are getting 2 hours off one set of bearings. Rawhide or bacon rinds would last longer than that.
Something else is extremely wrong for that to happen.
How much weight is being put on the bike?

 

First set might have been bad from the factory.(seen it first hand)is there a spacer in between them? what did you use to drive them in?

 

My bearings came out of the gio rebel so worn out and torn that I can't even see a serial # nor size to order them , I need the rear axle bearings can some 1 help me get a size or something so I can order the right 1

 

What # ? Mine are so worn out that the rubber is gone I need a # to order them

 

Take the bearings to a bearing shop. They will measure it and give you the right ones. Or if they don't have it, they will tell you the measurements.

 

Ik but the closest bearing shop is 1.5 hours away so I'd rather order just find out online

 

That is a long way.
If need be, maybe you can call them and they can explain what to measure. I'm sure they could send them.
