It is a new bike. Personally, I wouldn't go too crazy with removing and messing with things without first taking to the dealer, since it is under warranty. Or at least don't tell them what you did (some might use it as an excuse to harass you). Hopefully you have a good dealer.
This is what my rear bearing on the GTR looked like after 25k miles. When I took the black seal off, the red cover was already loose
And THAT is why many of us do not take our bikes to the dealer unless absolutely necessary.
Yikes- that is crazy.
I know the person I purchased the bike from always got the bike serviced from the dealer. So either that bearing went after the last service or the dealer totally missed it.
Doesn't take long to change the bearings thankfully
What I am wondering is- Was is it just a defective part? Did it fail due to environment or some type of mistreatment? Did it fail due to something someone did in service/assembly - like overtightening something or improper installation?
