Coupling Bearing Inspection
Since the coupling bearing is made to extremely close
tolerances, the clearance can not normally be measured.
NOTE
○It is not necessary to remove the coupling bearing for
inspection. If the bearing is removed, it will need to be
replaced with a new one.
• Turn the bearing in the coupling back and forth [A] while
checking for plays, roughness, or binding.
If bearing play, roughness or binding is found, replace the
bearing.
• Examine the bearing seal [B] for tears or leakage.
If the seal is torn or is leaking, replace the bearing.
Coupling Bearing Lubrication
• Pack the bearing with good quality bearing grease. Turn
the bearing around by hand a few times to make sure the
grease is distributed uniformly inside the bearing.
Coupling Damper Inspection
• Remove the rear wheel coupling, and inspect the rubber
dampers [A].
• Replace the damper if it appears damaged or deteriorated.
