Hi Buckel, do you have a link for that eBay ad? I couldn't find any dr wheels in the UK. Thanks.
Mollydog - the bike is a 2011 with 22xxx km. I've put it through a few thousand of Australian corrugations and a lot of hours of offroading in Australia.
I had last inspected, greased and looked over the wheel bearings 2000k ago and all was fine to my eye then. It was a rather dramatic bearing failure with a cracked race so im wondering if the bearings I'd bought (nsk) were part of a batch if counterfeits that have been found a lot in Australia. If so that could explain my failure.
Mika - I've been trying to find wreckers in the above. Do you know any shops specific to motorbikes. Ive made a dozen calls and people get frustrated with my broken German haha. And you're so right. Luckily I've got free accommodation for the moment so I can enjoy the markets and eat all the delicious food.
Wauschi - thanks very much for the offer. I may well come and take you up on that. Ill have a look see at the dr850 and see if anything is compatible.
Thanks everyone,
Merry Christmas for the coming week.
Jordan
