97 Valkyrie Wheel bearings.

[MAD6Gun]

Hey guys I have a quick question. I have a 97 Valk with 42,000 miles on it. It is time for Tires again. My question is. Would it be a good idea to replace the wheel bearings or could I wait until the next tire change? Any advise would be greatly appreciated........

Check them for play and smoothness (no binding/grinding) if you find neither, smear some grease on the sides of the bearing and go for it.

If interested in a rear wheel bearing modification to double row bearing now would be a good time.
Don't forget to claen and lube the splines.
