Author Message   Dragonslayer Posted on Friday, March 05, 2010 - 08:39 pm:        I did see the other thread for the '10 wheel kit, but I understand that the wheels on the X and the XT aren't the same (the ones on the X are a little heavier). Anyhoo I've got a 2008 XT with the black wheels and I'd like to do a rear wheel/bearings upgrade. Anyone know the part # to the kit for the XT? Much Thanks.   Dio Posted on Saturday, March 06, 2010 - 11:57 pm:        Froggy - is there a black 3 bearing rear wheel kit for the XT, like there is for the X?   Froggy Posted on Sunday, March 07, 2010 - 12:49 am:        G1309.02A8YT KIT, REAR WHEEL, DESIGNER/VILLIAN BLACK Retail Price:$336.00   Dragonslayer Posted on Sunday, March 07, 2010 - 07:00 am:        Excellent. Thank ya.   Dragonslayer Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 06:11 pm:        Well damn. After talking to a parts guy at the Hardley shop, they found that the kit is obsolete. But they had a 2010 parts catalog and can order the individual parts I need. Is all I need just bearings (3), dust seals (2), axle spacer, bearing seal/spacer, and of course the wheel? He told me the axle is the same for '08 and '10.

Dead wrong!   Dragonslayer Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 07:14 pm:        Yeah, I looked at the part numbers in another thread for bearing/wheel upgrades, and also at my '08 parts catalog. You're right, looks like '08 and '10 axles ain't the same. He must have gotten confused (typical for many Harley guys looking up Buell parts) Here's my list: Bearings (3) - E0005.5AK Axle - G0321.5AK Axle Spacer - G0323.5AK Wheel (Villian Black) - not sure yet Dust Seals (2) - EA0002.5AK Spacer/Seal - G0323.5AK Sprocket Bolts (6) - AA0609.11CXZB Rotor Bolts (6) - CA0005.9A7   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 07:29 pm:        Take your pick G0309.7AAYBR WHEEL, REAR, TRANSLUCENT AMBER Retail Price:$315.00 G0309.7AAYBX WHEEL, REAR, STRONGBAD TRANSLUCENT BLUE Retail Price:$315.00 G0309.7AAYCC WHEEL, REAR, CHERRY BOMB RED Retail Price:$315.00 G0309.7AAYCR WHEEL, REAR, BARRACUDA BLUE Retail Price:$285.00 G0309.7AAYCX WHEEL, REAR, PIRANHA BLACK Retail Price:$285.00 G0309.7AAYDC WHEEL, REAR, PIRANHA BLACK W/RED PINSTRP Retail Price:$285.00 G0309.7AAYJ WHEEL, REAR, SKY WHITE, UNPAINTED EDGE Retail Price:$285.00 G0309.7AAYT WHEEL, REAR, VILLAIN BLACK Retail Price:$285.00 G0309.7AAYZ WHEEL, REAR, SUNSET ORANGE Retail Price:$285.00 G0309A.7AAYJ WHEEL, REAR, SKY WHITE, FULL COVERAGE Retail Price:$285.00 I am curious how many still are good.   Whisperstealth Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 07:47 pm:        Well, I still have about 5 months of warranty. have about 12k on bike. If the wheel/bearings are gonna fail I hope it's by then. I have an 09 manfac. Aug. 08. Looks like it has the black seals.... 400+ for a new wheel combo is what I like to call major BULL%#^* An honorable company would have these - should be free - upgrades at very low prices. Live with your private hell you HD suits.   Dragonslayer Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 07:51 pm:        Cool. 7AAYT better still be good. I know Hardley said they'd provide parts for 7 years but I don't trust them. H-D has already shown their true colors (and I don't mean black & orange)   Trevd Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 07:53 pm:        Other companies might just ignore the problem...   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 08:02 pm:        quote: 400+ for a new wheel combo is what I like to call major BULL%#^* An honorable company would have these - should be free - upgrades at very low prices. Always a one of you in the bunch. Anyway, first off its $336. Secondly, Buell did provide the fix! Please ask the Kawasaki KLR650 owners who for over 20 years were dealing with a junk cam chain tensioner that was never fixed or even acknowledged by the factory. Also, if your bearings fail during the warranty period, there is a good chance you can get the new wheel, get this, FOR FREE!!   Whisperstealth Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 09:39 pm:        Is it $336 for the whole deal? Wheel, axle, spacer, bearings etc? I would have thought at 285-315 a wheel the rest would be more than that. I have a KLR650. Know ALL about the cam-tensioner, (doohicky). They still haven't fixed it. Even the 08+ one's have the same issue. Two wrongs don't make a right, just because one wrong isn't "as bad" doesn't make it okay. Free, that's why I'm hoping if it does fail, It does so under warranty. Question: Does/did HD/Buell give out free seals to those who had bad ones, even if their bike is out of warranty? Seems like the seals should be a recall matter and should be free to anyone with the older ones prone to failure. Guess I'm just on a Been dealing with a lot of iffy stuff lately, sorry. Dragon - Hey in any case way cool on your wheel! The piece of mind is priceless when on the road!
