Who has done them? What was involved? At how many miles? Just curious

I've done them on other bikes, but not the FJR. It's a pretty easy job, but you'll need a bearing puller. I bought a bearing pulling kit (http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/43/ ... ing+puller) for $90. I probably saved that much in shop labor charges the first time I used it.

Freeze the new bearings to make them smaller and press them in using a large C-clamp and 2 small blocks of wood.

Ha, I bet that would have helped on all those suspension bearings too!

Yep, it's like 4-wheel drive. You don't use it very often, but when you need it, you need it.
