My 92 GSXR 400 failed WOF on Rear Wheel Bearing Clearance.(Theres Spose to be none) Proberly explains why its been wobbling in corners at low speed of late :lol:

Anyways what is this exactly, Is it hard to fix, How much it gonna cost. Is it a roll up while you wait job? I was thinking of taking it down to cycletreads (CHCH) where I buy my tyres and get it done. If they do that sorta thing.

Search the manuals sticky thread and you will lilkely find a manual If not for your exact bike then pick a simplar one. Depending on the layout there will be at least 2 bearings. They are quite easy to get replacements for and do the job yourself. (assuming the axle bolt was tight, most likely the bearings will be shot)

It's probably no more than a 30 minute job if you have the bearings, but unless someone has the bearing numbers you'd need to take the rear wheel out to get the numbers off them

Do you have a rear stand?

You obviously don't have much mechanical experience, so take it in, Cycle treads should be able to do it!

I agree with Vagabond --im all for home maintainence but I'd just take it to treads ad then --ASK IF YOU CAN WATCH.:2thumbsup
The job is pretty simple in theory (new bike new bearings etc) but can get a tadd difficult if things have welded themselves into place
