How too: spend 600 bux in 10 min

[MX450]

First moto of the season, last lap was hearing a strange noise, well this was it, bearing decided to give up and took out my rpm carrier and dominator axle, kinda pissed bc the carrier was fairly new....

[Quad Dude]

i dont think ill be buying one of those carriers any time soon.

You cant reuse the axle?

[eastside 400]

whats "fairly" new? couple rides or a season?

[MX450]

less then 10 rides probly

im pretty sure the axle cant be reused because it chewed up the splines where that little ring fits snug to so now there is alot of play there, prob would wobble slightly and cause bearings to go out very quickly

its all about how you take care of everything, i went 2 complete seasons racing everynational on the same carrier just have to grease it and keep it clean

MX450, check your PMs please.

A little preventative maintenance goes a long way!

Ill tell ya what, I have had nothing but bad luck out of anything other than a factory carrier w/ factory Honda bearings. I had an LSR carrier flat out fall apart after 2 rides, I have also busted an RPM in a short amount of time. I will run nothing but factory anymore.

I have had nothing but failures with RPM twin row carriers. Use OEM or Tapered carriers only.
