Took a two hour ride down the Alaska highway today (before winter sets in - Oct.). On the way home the bike had a slight vibration and the front end felt a bit lumpy - like I had a piece of tire missing. I slowed down, was riding between 140 and 165 kph. made it home to find that the rt. front bearing (when sitting on the bike) had been chewed up. Pulled the front tire off and checked the left one and it was very dry and knotchy. I removed the bearings inter and outer - found the replacement number - will check with bearing shop on Tuesday.
My question is: Is there only one dust cover for the wheel bearing on the left side (when sitting on the bike) and not the right? I didn't see one on the right but the bearing was completely chewed up so I am not sure if there was one there.
