Today I changed the front tire on my 2000 R1100RS. As I was prepping for the shake-down ride, I realized my bike has not had any maintenance on the front wheel bearings since 2011 when I purchased it with 66,000 miles on it (it now has 101,600 miles).
How do I check or maintain the bearings? I hear no noise or roughness, but I know that would only happen when the absolute worst was near, and it is certainly not something I want to hear on a trip. I'm certain this has been covered, but I could not find it in a search.
BTW the new tires are Bridgestone Battlax T30 EVO dual compound tires. I'll report back on them after getting the rear tire on next weekend. I could not pass up riding weather in February to do both of them today!
