MZ/MuZ Riders

Test

Hi Robiedubois,

In my opinion you would be wise just to replace the affected wheel bearing. Very cheap if purchased from a bearing stockist. Many can be found via the internet. Just quote the bearing number which will be etched onto your old bearing. This can then be replaced by any competent home mechanic.
Further to the above the wheels on the MZ are manufactured by Lightcon of USA origin. (please someone correct me if I am mistaken) and are high quality. A Fazer wheel would certainly be designed and manufactured to do exactly what a Fazer requires-no more. Manufactured to cost and of average quality so why change the wheel?
Not sure if this helps, but consider your options.

Kind Regards,

Gary.

Do you mean that the wheel has been damaged by a loose bearing outer? This did in fact happen to a number of 1000 wheels including mine. I was lucky enough to discover the problem before too much damage was done. The cure was to fit a new bearing using Locktite "bearing fit" as an adhesive. If the damage is extensive then the bearing socket in the wheel can be repaired by welding and the socket re-machining to size.

I don't think any of the jap wheels will fit straight in, try a specialist like Dymag.

Do you have a picture of the damaged wheel so we all know what to look out for?
