This is a sign that the motorbike wheel bearing needs to be replaced, if it collapses first it could be a disaster.

As a two-wheeled vehicle user, you should know the symptoms when a wheel bearing needs to be replaced. Wheel bearings that are damaged or worn out if not replaced immediately can cause accidents on the road.

Like a motorbike that suddenly feels limp after hitting a hole in the road until the motorbike suddenly shakes at high speed. Symptoms of wheel bearings that have begun to fail are easy to recognize, as stated by Mulyadi Service Advisor Ahass Astra Motor Natar.

"The tires feel like they are drifting to the right and left. Especially when cornering, it will be felt more and make the motorbike unstable," said Mulyadi.

According to Mulyadi, many bikers still misunderstand front wheel bearing damage and a problem with the steering wheel. "If there is a problem with the steering wheel, generally when you turn the steering wheel or handlebars become heavy or even too light accompanied by a creaking sound in the steering area.

"Meanwhile, if the front wheel bearing has a problem, the tire or rim seems to run to the left and right when used," he added when met at Ahass Astra Motor Natar.

Mul also added that checking the condition of the bearing or bearing on the front rim of the motorbike is actually quite easy. "When the motorbike is parked, use the middle stand or paddock. Then focus on the front wheels.

"Then shake the front rim with both hands. If when you shake it you find that there is looseness in the rim axle (oblak), you can be sure that the front wheel bearing or klaher needs to be replaced," he explained again. Finally, Mul revealed that the wheel bearing damage was apparently caused by several things. "Usually because we often carry heavy loads, we break through damaged roads or we often get hit by floods that almost submerge the wheels," he said.

Therefore, driving behavior plays a very important role in maintaining the durability of the bearings in motorbike wheels. Remember, if the wheel bearing has a problem, it should be replaced immediately because it can make the motorbike unstable and dangerous at high speeds.

The price of wheel bearings is also relatively cheap, only around Rp. 20-30 thousand depending on the type of motorbike. (SB05)
