Harley Davidson Motorcycle Drivetrain & Transmission Bearings

The most popular transmission type used in motorcycles is a manual. It utilizes pairs of gears moving laterally on a pair of shafts to change the ratios between the engine and the rear wheel. These gear pairs can be engaged or disengaged by pushing the foot-shift lever. The transmission should be maintained in good condition, and all the emerging issues should be addressed without hesitation, as any failure in this vital assembly can cause hazardous situations if it happens at speed. In order to function properly, the transmission needs a sufficient amount of fresh lubricant, as it contains numerous moving components which would otherwise suffer from friction.

Bearings are the parts designed to reduce friction in the transmission assembly. There are various types of transmission bearings, but all of them are designed to bear the load and minimize friction. Some Harley Davidson owners experience troubles with transmission bearings after 15,000-20,000 miles. For instance, the rollers in a bearing may fall apart. In certain cases, the damaged components also caused problems with other bearings. When replacement is the only cure, drop in to our store.
