Took my alt to have serviced today.

Had it off at 50k for a 'professional' to look at it. Back then he said the brushes should last another 50k. Im at almost 100k so since riding season is over might as well take it off. Told him to replace everything that needs it before the next 50k. He asked if it still charges and I said yes. He said good cause some parts are getting hard to find. Should be done tomorrow he says.

Prob do the starter this spring. He did it at 5-k also and replaced a bearing I believe. Gosh I hate taking the starter out.

what parts are getting hard to find?

[fudgie]

He replaced 2 bearings and the brushes. All for $89. Brushes were shot he said. I asked if its good to go for another 50k and he said prob longer.

what parts are getting hard to find?

Hes having trouble finding some bearings. He had one left. Its a standard outside diameter but the inside diameter is large and hard to find. He said Honda wont release parts so he cant get them from them.

Hes worked on lot of wing alts as he is a wing rider.

Think the front bearing maybe 60/22DU (22x44x12) not 6022DU as it is 110x170x28
6000DU comes up as 10x26x8.
Bearings with the forward slash in the number are usually designated as motorcycle bearings.
