[QUOTE="DougRoost, post: 107686, member: 23019"] I'm getting back into dirt bikes after too many years off. I restore cars as a hobby and am accustomed to repacking wheel bearings. I picked up a nice '98 KLX that should be pretty similar in this area to the KDX. Well, I noticed the steering was a bit rough, so I went to repack the steering head bearings only to find them shot. Apparently the previous owner was a little overzealous with the pressure washer and not into maintaining them, so this cost me $85 and quite a bit of time (vs. $1 worth of grease -- aaargh!). So my plan was to go through the bike and repack all the bearings. I was planning to do the wheel bearings and the swingarm and linkage bearings and my shop manual is on order so I don't have specifics. From this thread it would appear repacking wheel bearings is not possible (my experience with bearings and punches means you're replacing them at that point). Is this correct or is there a way to maintain them? [/QUOTE]
