An easier way to remove the bearing is with heat. It doesn't require much , so if a heat gun is not available. A hair dryer will do the trick. Also don't forget the gasket on the cover. You don't want oil leaks, especially on your exhaust pipe
Yeah I was tracking the heat and does make sense. Also if the bearing is cold it will in theory shrink to fit in better. Heat expands. You can reuse the gasket if it’s not damaged. I will more than likely order another because I may need to take the cover off again if I replace it with a Ducabike cover.
If it’s clean and has been well maintained it’s still going to be fine. 18k miles is nothing but most people think that equates to 60k miles on a bike. 😂 Mine is a 2012 and had 6k miles on it and I got it for much cheaper than $12k. Just gotta keep searching.

awesome 😀
Love the bike bro! I found a 2014 with 18k on it going for $12k. Do you think that’s too many miles on that bike?
