|  Wheel bearing failure for the 2nd time!!
You know... this is getting old.. When my Star Roadliner was brand new with zero miles on the clock, I thought I was in heaven... First brand new bike I have ever owned.. At 172 miles on the odometer, the front wheel bearing failed... Luckily it failed on a straight road and I was able to have it towed... After some serious pain and suffering with the dealer I was back on the road and I thought it was a "freak thing" and moved on with life... Well, at around 17,300 it has happened again... This time it gave some strange noises and started tracking a little odd. After an inspection today, it has been determined that another set of bearings have failed.... Frustration is just one feeling that I am having to say the least... This is obviously a safety issue and not a "the seat doesn't feel comfortable after 100 miles" issue... I am truly starting to lose confidence in this bike but yet I have had some GREAT times in the past 17,300 miles... Should I give up hope on this bike or should I start budgeting for replacing the bearings every other year? Grrr...  *sigh* |
