Display MoreTook my Sling back to the dealer for the fifth time to clear the traction control and ABS light occurring since the swing arm recall work.
Just spoke with the dealer - and guess what they figured out.
Yep, the bearing was in backwards.
Now, they said they flipped the bearring and repressed it back into the swingarm.
I asked it the bearing would have been damaged already and they said no, it should be fine.
I recall reading that when the bearing was in backwards on other units, they went ahead and put on another swingarm.
Do I push back or should the bearing be OK?
Lol, we are a bunch of idiots, no I mean they are! They think we are idiots.
The bearing did not get any damage from when it was in backwards, as long as "they" are going to stand behind it then leave it alone. Beware though that this is an angular bearing and is not to be press on the inner race and the only way to remove it is to push on the inner race. An angular bearing should never be pushed on the inner race or it may shorten the life of the bearing. When installing this bearing the outer race is used to press in in place. So based on that it has a one time use. But then, I am just an idiot!
