RE: [ST] Seized rear bearing

["Steven Kohlscheen" <TrumpST@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<<
I note that there is a recall for this in some 2001->2002 models

I have had an enquiry about anyone who has, or knows of anyone who
has,
had an accident as a result of this fault and if they received the
recall notice.

Anyone know anything?

I know of no accidents caused by the specific recall part.

I have a bike that was in the affected range.  I put around 30,000 miles on
the bike before the bearing got replaced.  No sign of impending failure on
the old bearing.  My father, who works in a Triumph dealership in the
midwest USA here, has done a few dozen bearing changes for this recall.
None showed signs of impending failure.
