| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Radial ball bearing failure on final drive hub. failure under normal wear on 3 different motorcycles, all failures happened under 5000 miles and even replacement parts new from oem had failed bearings before install. part number is 91053-mn5-003 (bearing) and 42630-mch-000 (drive flange). this problem is being reported by dozens on a honda vtx internet board. many are finding that even new oem parts are defective as new parts before install. some have looked into why this problem happens and it is believed the tolerance in the flange is incorrect, causing the bearing to deform upon being press into the flange hub. also note that the model is not on the list for honda motorcycles on this board. i selected honda vtx 1300 as this is the model for this complaint, but the motor size should be 1800. |
