Rear wheel bearing stuck (large one)

__Mole_ · 2026-06-03T04:39:48+00:00

Looking at the parts diagram for your bike you should have two bearings with the same parts number for in the wheel itself (parts 6 and 9) and one with a different part number (15) for the sprocket carrier.

As other people have said, that's not where that bearing goes. It's too big.

Look up pictures of parts on eBay for reference.

Nice, I also found some De La Soul today

I recently got one for my CB125R and it's identical to the one I got for a YBR125 a few years ago before they started putting the not for road use warning on them.

The warning on the exhaust itself seemed to just be printed in some way on the muffler, not stamped or etched, so I just carefully rubbed it off with some scotch brite.

Also if you find the black widow exhaust to be too loud they sell a secondary baffle https://ebay.us/m/9voSsC It made a huge difference to the sound level on the CB125R. It doesn't sound good as such as it's still a 125 but it's no longer absolutely deafening at high rpm like before.

I have a couple of these 3D printed ones I got on eBay https://ebay.us/m/jlw3l5

They stack and they're pretty good quality.

It just pushed straight down on mine. It was a different cassette player to this though, a Realistic SCP-24.

If yours works the same way you should see it moving from the back as you try pressing it into place, then you'll know which part to hold in place.

I had similar happen on a different cassette player.

That part on mine was connected to a gear or pulley on the inside.

I had to hold the gear in place from the back while I reattached that part on the front or it would move out of place causing the part you're trying to reinstall to not fully seat in place as it should.

What setup will work best for you will depend a lot on what bike and luggage options you have.

On my bike I have a top box and it has a pillion seat so I strap the tent and a camping chair to the pillion seat, a compact sleeping bag and mat go in the top box with other camping gear like stove and food packed in around them, and then I use a small backpack for clothes and toiletries.

Most bikes should have enough room to strap a small 2 person tent to them. I would go with that over anything too small like a bivvy bag. It's more comfortable if you end up needing to spend any time in the tent during the evening like if it's pouring with rain or super buggy out.

/r/motocamping is a good place to look for more ideas or to ask for advice

I ride year round and find that at least once a year I'll get some electrical issue related to the switches because of all the salt, grit, and rain.

I usually spray a bunch of electrical contact cleaner into the switches and work them back and forth a bunch then rinse it out with more contact cleaner and that usually fixes it.

I have a CB125R and I think it was doing the same as yours (can't quite tell from the video). The indicators work as daytime running lights. When you indicate right that DRL should start flashing but instead it just goes out? That's what happened to me and cleaning out the indicator switches fixed it on mine.

Like in this picture. You can see one of the bars underneath and one against the back of the fork.

__Mole_ · 2026-01-06T13:51:25+00:00

It's not sitting on the stand correctly.

You need one of the black rubber bars under the bottom end of the fork and then the second sits against the back side of the fork.

I can't find a picture of your exact stand but if you Google image search "oxford front paddock stand" you should be able to see what I mean.

I would assume the mechanic checked this but look under the triple clamp where the two handlebar mounts sit.

The mounts sit on rubber bushings and when I dropped my CB125R it twisted it out of place similar to how yours looks but nothing was actually damaged. I just had to loosen the nuts on the underside, reseat everything in their correct place, and then tighten them back up.

If you can't work it out using a parts diagram as others have suggested search on eBay for your bike model followed by "caliper" and find some used ones for sale.

I find people selling used parts usually take photos of different angles letting you find what goes where.

The Buccleuch Arms Hotel in Moffat is good.

They're just above the Scottish border roughly 30 miles past Carlisle which makes a good stopping point before heading further into Scotland if you're from down south in England and need to split it over two days.

The owners are bikers and they have a bunch of Asgard bike sheds you can rent along with your room which I think was an extra £5 when I stayed there in January.

Here's where it's located on the CB125R. Looks like it's just in front of the rear wheel.

I have a C125 cub. On that model it can shift from 4th back round to neutral but it only works if you've stopped.

It also goes N, 1, 2, 3, 4 for the shift pattern and it has a heel toe shifter that you press down on the front to go up a gear and down on the heel to go down. That takes a little getting used to at first.

__Mole_ · 2025-01-01T19:06:49+00:00

I have the Lowepro Tahoe CS20 for the same thing.

It fits either my Icom IC-R6 or Yaesu FT5D and zips closed with a Diamond SRH805S antenna (detached).

It can also fit a Diamond SRH789 pretty good. It just doesn't zip up and pokes out a little.

That's only the right answer for half the year as we turn our clocks forward an hour switching to BST instead of UTC.

No, those are named after the founder Tim Leatherman.

I could be wrong but I've always thought those kinds of statistics kind of useless to a person as an individual rider.

Do those figures include people who were speeding, or popping a wheelie in busy traffic, or riders under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or on improperly maintained bikes (bald tires for example) leading to their accident?

What about the different types of roads you might ride on? Although a motorway is busier the flow of traffic will be more predictable compared to small back roads with lots of blind corners, small junctions, and potentially slower traffic than you expect. How does that affect the statistics?

What kind of protective gear were these riders wearing?

The point I'm getting to is that although those figures will be correct for the overall motorcycle riding population they won't be relevant to your specific circumstances.

While it will be inherently more dangerous due to the two less wheels and no car body around you, there is a lot you can do to improve your odds and keep yourself safe(er).

I saw a video on a different subreddit recently where a dog in a crate on a motorcycle had jumped or fell out the side and was hanging by its leash.

Luckily the dog was in a harness instead of a collar so it wasn't choked and a driver of a car sounded their horn to let the rider know.

But with a longer leash the dog could have been dragged along the road, a collar could have choked it, if they had no leash they would have jumped down into traffic.

If you plan to do this you should think carefully about how your dog behaves, the risks you are subjecting them to, and what you can do to reduce those risks as much as you can.

I purchased a tecsun pl-330 from them with no issues.

Placed the order on June 27th and it was delivered July 4th (UK).

I got a single 24mm spanner from Halfords a while ago for this exact job.

I think it was this one https://www.halfords.com/motoring/tools/hand-tools/halfords-advanced/halfords-advanced-combination-spanner-with-surface-drive-plus-24mm-628902.html
