The rear wheel bearings failed, and produced excessive rear wheel wobble. I detected the problem and took it to the dealer - north tx house of motorcycles in hurst tx. They said the bearings, shaft, brake pads and other associated parts need replaced for a cost of usd1,832. Had the mechanism been designed properly, it would not have failed. I ride the bike carefully with no excessive speed or stunts, so the failure should not have happened. I could have had a really bad accident due to the failure.
