Re: Anyone have a bearing lock up??
You'd better go and buy a new one now and keep it handy... cuzz if it 'locked up' once its on its way out.
I would just replace it right now rather than be stranded 100 miles from home at some time in the future.
Be about $12-$15 from a bearing supply store.

Yes definatly replace your wheel bearings especialy the front ones, you dont want the front wheel to lock up on you.

You can always try www.bikebandit.com or your local bike shop. You'd have to take the bearing out to take it to a bearing shop if you wanted a replacement from them.

You could try a search on Google or Dogpile for oh say 'Suzuki wheel bearing'. Might add GS and/or motorcycle to that to trim the return down some.
I know JC Whitney carries that kind of thing but I might be a bit concerned about quality when it comes to something that might involve meeting the pavement in a rude and aburpt manner.

you can also take the bearing to a bearing supply shop and they can cross referance the part number and save a small fortune over the price at the dealer.

When I had new tires put on my bike the guys at the shop noticed my bearings were worn. $10.00 (each) later my bearings were replaced. WORTH IT!
Ask at your local shop. You might be pleasantly surprised. 8)

I went and asked my Suzuki parts man at a dealer and he gave me the correct bearing numbers straight off the Suzuki fiche.
