I have made it a habit to readjust the tension on fork bearings about every 20,000 miles on most of the bikes I have owned. If it ain't broke ....................... can and has left me out on Hwy 75 at 2:00 am in 20 degree weather. No fun at all when that happens. Wear and tear is kept to a minimum when properly adjusted. Fork Bearings in the Harley at 90,000 miles were still good when I replaced them last week. Preventive maintenance becomes very important with the miles I ride. The Harley has only been towed once since I have owned it (flat tire) that is amazing for a Harley. The ROCKET X is by far the best bike I have owned and yes we may go a little overboard on the maintenance but I plan on having her around a little longer than some of my wife's I have had. Having the proper tools and basic knowledge has saved me a lot of headaches and heartaches when it comes to motorcycles. Any and everything I learn about the Rocket during my journey will be shared in a heartbeat. Pretty much gave up on dealerships so for now and in the future it will be a learning process.
