Wheel Bearings

Hey everyone, just a heads up for the all weather/high mileage 8th gen guys out there:

Approaching the 16000 mile mark, recently noticed a strange feeling through the bars, took it into the dealer for inspection and it turns out the right side front wheel bearing is, for lack of a better word, f[censored]d. Honda have accepted a warranty claim, so will be getting it replaced early next week when the parts come in.

Might just be a one-off problem with my bike, but I thought I'd post just to make other owners aware.

Anything to do with our lousy weather and heavily salted roads? As a matter of interest have you checked your brakes? i have noticed a pitting of the brake pistons, to be checked at next service.

With your mileage you may have started to notice these things before the rest of us, any other high mileage people out there with tales to tell?

Very possibly weather related, but could have just been a faulty part which took a little while to fail.

I had both calipers replaced under warranty earlier this year. We'll see how the new ones look after this winter...
