Inspection
• The condition of the bearings, should be inspected periodically. These are
normal wear parts so plan to have them replaced as they wear-out.
• To inspect the bearings, disconnect the link to expose the bearings. Rotate the
inner race of each bearing with your finger. The rotation should feel smooth
without binding. Each bearing should be fixed securely in the opening. Check
to make sure each circlip is seated in the grooves. The front bearings should be
seated against the inner lip.
• Inspection frequency should be based upon how and where you ride.
Evidence of damage would be excessive play, visible wear, or corrosion of
bearings.
• If you find any damage to the parts, discontinue riding until all the parts
(bearings, pivot axles, spacers) can be replaced. This will help prevent damage
elsewhere.
• Do not re-use removed bearings; if removed replace all bearings with new
ones.
