Worn out hub on CR80 any fix?

[nsxxtreme]

I have a 1998 CR80 that I just replaced the rear bearings in.

I had thought the bearings were bad so I put new bearings in. It looks like the hub is worn to the point the bearing is able to move a small amount inside the hub. Is there a fix to this? Or is replaceing the hub the only fix? Are there any aftermarket hubs that are cheaper then honda OEM hubs?

I had this happen on a bike once. I fixed it by taking a chisel and hammering it in several places down the inside of the hub. This made a few little 'teeth' t hold the bearing in place. It sounds bad, but worked for a long time until I sold the bike.

Two ideas come to mind.

Reinstall the bearings using copious amounts of red loctite. That will probably hold them from spinning but could make subsequent removal difficult or impossible.

Take the bearings to a bearing supply store and have then match up bearings with a slightly larger outer diameter.

Do you happen to know the stock bearing specs off hand?

i dont think there is a dimension listed in the service manual for the bearings.you would just have to take the old ones with you to get a replacement set

what works as a temp fix is use Jb weld as a filler. you can still remove the bearing down the road.
