Clicking Noise in the Rear Wheel

[KDog Bone]

Hey KDB - just a suggestion on my part.... as inexpensive as they are, why not put a new bearing in while its out? if the bearing seat has become larger, there is a reason for it (over torquing maybe?) So it stands to reason that some undue stress has been put on that bearing in spite of the fact it may "feel fine" Just askin

...Good point...

I will get him to order some...

Thanks!

The squeaking is my ass on the seat. The clicking is the wheel... Which clicks no more!

Does anyone have the Timken bearing numbers for the front and rear wheel

Does anyone have the Timken bearing numbers for the front and rear wheel

Not sure if it helps but an earlier post had link to catalog and other brand's codes.

All balls problems usually arise from botched install, as all bearing problems usually are. They sell a metric ****TON of bearing kits and they are very widely accepted with positive results.

Yes, you don't know who your bearing comes from, but then, do you know who the stock parts are made by (hint, its not triumph)?

Alternatively, you can buy a set of known high quality japan made bearings for 1/2 the Triumph price of a set. Either way, I don't suggest anyone give mama Triumph the retarded amount they ask for.

Here the Timken catalog, known quantity, very high quality bearings (possibly the supplier for Allballs): http://www.timken.com/en-us/products/Documents/Timken-Deep-Groove-Ball-Bearing-Catalog-10857.pdf

6204-2RS or 2RZ 6204 2RSJ EM Quality 20x47x14 Sealed C3 Japan Made Bearing
5204-2RS or 2RZ 5204-2RS Angular Contact Sealed 20mm Bore Bearing
Can't find the size of the third rear bearing but they can all be ordered here from very high quality manufacturers:

5204-2RS bearing KOYO Japan -5204-2RS

I've also put in an inquiry for hybrid ceramics with one of the best bearing manufacturers in the world for front and rear bearings. Dyno proven horse power gains, on a GSXR 750 back to back testing showed 5whp peak and 6lb-ft across the whole power band...

Well guys, I just came across this PDF from ALL BALLS bearings showing how to properly fit wheel bearings on a motorcycle. Look closely. Notice the reference as to how one bearing is seated in the housing with the outer race while the other is seated against the spacer against the inner race preventing side loads. I wonder if this isn't the issue with many bearings that fail prematurely? It looks like properly set up bearings with a correct length spacer cannot be over torqued. Now someone needs to tell Triumph.

I'm currently in the process of fixing this same problem. Got the bike tore apart last night. Hope to make progress putting it back together tonight.
Still have to get the old bearings out. Hoping it's the same problem. I'm happy I found this post. I need to get some Moly grease and loctite on the way home tonight.
