A worn wheel bearing should be replaced as soon as possible. Indeed, a defective bearing can cause serious damage to the wheel hub and lead to expensive repairs. Essential for the safety of your 50cc PEUGEOT motorcycle, the wheel bearing ensures proper rotation of your motorcycle wheel without friction. When a rolling noise is heard, or when you feel vibrations in the handlebars of your motorcycle, do not wait to change it. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to change it yourself.
A wearing part, subject to continual stress, they influence its day-to-day operation. A worn, incorrectly mounted or over-tightened bearing can be the cause of the end of life of your wheel bearings. The mileage, but also the stresses that the bearings may suffer such as bad weather or the high pressure jet or a badly tensioned chain can finally get the better of their good shape.
Some symptoms can still point to out of order wheel bearings. Par example when you push the bike, you feel vibrations in the handlebars, or tremors when braking. This is a good indicator for front wheel bearings and an out of order motorcycle wheel bearing symptom. Abnormal wear on the side of a tyre, and a feeling of slippage in corners or on certain surfaces can also signal an alarm signal for an out of order motorcycle wheel bearing symptom.
Remember that bearings are essential to the proper functioning of your Model Mark. Make sure they are properly maintained for your safety and the performance of your 50cc PEUGEOT motorcycle.
SymDefective bearing pests:
1) Abnormal tire wear.
2) Squeaking, noise coming from the tires.
3) Handlebar vibration.
4) Abnormal play in the wheel axle.
5) Poor handling and braking.
When replacing bearings, choose sealed ball bearings or tapered bearings that require less maintenance, marked 2RS specifies that they are fitted with sealing rings on the sides.
