On other bikes, I've had very good success with heating the hub with a heat gun. I've had 2 sets basically drop out of the wheel after heating and flipping the wheel over. Usually a minimum of tapping is all that is needed to get them out once heated.

Same for installation as well, except the bearings usually go in the freezer for a half hour before I try to install them in the heated hub.

Hi folks,

I recently bought a used 09 800GS with 20,000kms.

It is under factory warranty until April and I will get it into the dealer for a look over/service before then - but in the meantime - is there a link or sticky to "How to check your wheel bearings"?

I've read through the vast majority of this thread and searched - but my eye's may have glassed over and missed it..

Appreciate any help.

A question for those in the know -
I am replacing the bearings in my F800GS.
The seals that the bearing shop had were 8mm thick instead of 7mm. Will these be OK or should I look around for some 7mm thick seals?
Thanks
Paul
