High mile maintenance

[Mr.Winder]

I have a 2014 SR viper LTX SE with close to 4000 miles on it. Just curious what bearings I should change or other maintenance I should do before winter comes around again. Thanks

Thats low miles! I didnt change any of my bearings till almost 9000mi. That said I did clean and regrease all those that had grease every year.

Which bearings need grease?

Which bearings need grease?

Clutch side Driveshaft and Jackshaft and all the Bogey wheels.

When doing the driveshaft bearing be sure to look if it has spun on the shaft already.

Had the clutch side bearing replaced at 7k and did the wheels at 9k. Had major warranty work done at 14k sold it. Bought a leftover 2017 now 7k just going to have clutch bearing changed and lube everything. I always have the chaincase taken apart cleaned and oil changed.

Haven’t seen one but good idea! Should be doing mine this weekend. Basically it’s like this. Bogeys remove clip holding bearing in then using a toothpick or carefully with dental pick pry the rubber seal out of bearing where seal meets inner race of bearing. Clean using parts cleaner and finally with wd 40. If using air cover with rag and use low pressure. Then pack bearing with grease and put seal back in. Some don’t fill completely your choice. Repeat for Jackshaft and Driveshaft. Inspect as you do this. Messy job but is proven to work.
