I never repacked these bearings, just pumped more grease in the fittings when ever I felt like it. I replaced them after removing an outer one, cleaning it well and doing a visual inspection. There were lines on the rollers and it had a roughness when turned with some manual pressure on it...

As a machinist by trade I don't like the look of the threads on the Gold's myself. Mine have looked like a poorly produced single thread or an intentionly machined double thread. Some sealing threads are made to be sacrificial, (for single use only ). That would be correct here "IF" they are...

Thanks.........

arkainzeye.........The racing oil didn't bother me, probably a 20-50 wt. w/a heavy duty add pak. I think he said it way Valvoline. Titan.......Shifting is much improved now and it is a wet clutch. Thanks

6300 miles on an 03 Suzuki VL800 805 cc w/c, 2200 mi oci and the Rotella is very dark in the sight glass after 100 miles. I had a 10-40GTX/ 10-30 Amsoil 3/1 mix in for the 2200 miles. P/O had a brand name racing oil in when I bought it. Should I be concerned about the dark color ?

Always lubed bearings w/Amsoil syn. grease. This trailer has fittings on the caps but are not the bearing buddy design. This one bleeds excess grease into the axle tube so the seals don't get pushed out. I purchased this trailer new and have used up 6+ sets of tires so it gets used pretty hard...

But the big junk would still be in the tank filter.........

Blackstone website has your answers in a FAQ also. I saved 4oz. per their instructions while waiting for the kit.

Thanks Slick17601........As much as I respect the enginners at Honda this is not a good idea. My thinking is that as the filter gets clogged it finally kills the fuel pump. Oh well...

I like it, good for my motor and shifting is much quieter. This was my 2nd change since buying the bike. Had 1 qt. Amsoil 10-30 + 3qts. 10-40 GTX in for 2K+ miles. Getting a UOA on it soon.

Good one......thanks for the

Filter books say it has one, but we couldn't find it, even with the car on the hoist.

^ What he said.......except that I have turned a few sets just enough to remove rust from non use.

Nope, not pepper corns. It used to be cured by rubbing w/very coarse salt. Coarse like corn kernel size.
