PSA: PLEASE Check your wheel bearings!
Howdy,
I had my rear wheel bearing give out on the freeway. Speedo started jumping randomly, abs light flashing, bike making clunking noises, etc...
If you do some research it turns out it's pretty common for the wheel bearings (especially the rear wheel bearing, on the right side) on the NCs to fail. Sometimes it can happen as soon as 10k miles! Mine failed around 22k. I don't trust them anymore so I'm probably just gonna replace them every time I replace the tire but, on a bike that's otherwise been flawless this was a huge bummer. Just tryna spread the word and save y'all being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a huge tow bill.
