THe trouble with ST wheel bearings is they are exposed and vulnerable. I would recommend plenty of grease on them even though they are sealed. On my ST2 the rear bearing had rusted inside and it had then started spinning in the wheel. The bearing seating ended up oval and the dealer had to replace the wheel on warranty. Mind you, it had been ridden through the previous winter ... which I did not know when I bought it. They cleaned it well ... until you looked "under the hood" [Edited on 27-3-2005 by HW] |
