Hey guys

Have the Eiger on the lift now and noticed some play in the front left wheel. About 1/8-1/4 of a inch when you wiggle the wheel top to bottom. My guess is the bearing is going(1700kms). Is this to much play or can I keep going for a bit.

Thanks

 

Any play is bad in wheel bearings, they should have no play and spin freely. Mine went bad very quickly ...about 650 miles.

 

Did you change the bearings yet? I have a 2004 and my front wheels are all over the place I cannot put it off any longer, it just seems like a big job I purchased a 2 sets of bearings on ebay for $33.00 I think they are all *****, but any help would be nice, I will also take a few pics and post info. I did buy a nice little shelter for it to, at www.superiorshelter.com if anyone else out there needs a workshop for you atv mine has come in handy.

 

Its not a hard job,the hardest part is getting the new bearing in the hub without banging the new bearing up. Just bring the hub and bearing to a local garage and they will slip it in for you cheap and quick then put it back together yourself.

Here is the instructions.http://www.exriders.com/archive/topic/222231-1.html
