warp1 Posted July 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2012 Pulled the rear wheel to change the tire and considered pulling the gear mounted on the wheel. Got the dust seal off and just about pulled the snap ring....re-read the tech article and realized it was about noisy rear...which mine isn't...so ended up not pulling and greasing it. Anyhow....new E3 mounted and on, pipes on...just finishing my last electrical connection in the fairing and the bike is ready for the weekend....but, See the dust seal still sitting on my tool box How important is it for pavement riding (no gravel)? Can I get by the weekend? a month? Take the damn tire off in this 200 degree garage and put it back on? Thanks for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted July 5, 2012 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2012 I hate it when that happens. Has more than once. Is it the one that mounts to the rim? If it was mine, I would be inclined to ride it till it cooled down, but you will need to clean all the hub parts well when you put it back in. There is an oil seal on the main hub that will protect the internals of the final drive. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
