2004 honda vtx 1800c motorcycle with 57,000 miles. While replacing rear tire, I inspected rear flange bearing and by simple observation noted that about half the ball bearings were missing.

When my motorcycle reached 8,000 miles it had a high speed whine, when I had a new tire installed , I found the rear wheel bearings were in pieces. I now have 18,000 miles on it and again the bearings are out. I believe there is a problem that honda knows about . If one of these motorcycles has a bearing lock up at highway speeds it could be fatal.
